TATER CRUST TUNA PIE



Tater Crust Tuna Pie image

I make this pie a lot because it is quick and easy to prepare (I teach during the day, so my cooking time is limited), and it's one of my husband's favorites. I like the combination of potato flakes and french-fried onions in this pastry crust...they complement the tuna/cheese filling well.

CREAMY TUNA AND MASHED POTATO PIE



Creamy Tuna and Mashed Potato Pie image

Quick and easy if you use pre prepared stuff, not as quick but just as easy if you do it all from scratch. It is up to you the type of cheese sauce and the kind of mashed potatoes you use, spice it up, or leave it simple. This is loved by kids and adults in my house. Time based on making cheese sauce and potatoes from scratch.

TUNA PIE



Tuna Pie image

This is a change from the traditional tuna casserole. The cheese-flavored crust is similar in texture to a graham cracker crust, perhaps a bit firmer, with a slightly crunchy crumb topping, and the tuna filling is somewhat like a quiche flavored with sour cream and dill. I got the recipe from an old Penzey's catalogue. See the bottom of the recipe for a suggestion on making a smaller pie for less servings.

Tips:

  • Use a large russet potato for the tater crust. It will provide more surface area for the filling and help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Shred the potato using the large holes of a box grater. This will create a more uniform texture for the crust.
  • Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the shredded potato. This will help the crust to crisp up in the oven.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or griddle to cook the tater crust. This will help to prevent the crust from sticking and tearing.
  • Cook the tater crust over medium heat. This will help to prevent the crust from burning.
  • Once the tater crust is cooked, let it cool slightly before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in the filling. This will add flavor and texture to the pie.
  • Use a creamy sauce in the filling. This will help to bind the ingredients together and make the pie more flavorful.
  • Bake the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling to set and make the pie easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Tater crust tuna pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The tater crust is crispy and flavorful, and the filling is creamy and packed with vegetables. This pie is also a great way to use up leftover tuna.
