Greek Vegetarian Potato Pie Recipe

Hi there,  How is everyone?  A small update about my Yoga Classes, I have not been able to find another time slot to start.  So, it seems that the lessons will have to wait for a later date, and yes I know that I can do Yoga at home, but I don’t want to start doing Yoga at home because I do everything else at home.  Work, Blog, Read, Write, I need to get out of the house and talk to human beings. hehehehe. 

This coming Sunday is the Greek Easter.  We are preparing to celebrate Easter and since today is our Good Friday, I thought this Potato Pie would be a great dish for Lunch.  This recipe has no butter, just Olive Oil and a few more delicious yummy ingredients.  I have mentioned in the past that I like to substitute Onions with Leek, well I did it again and it tastes fabulous. 🙂 

Since, my mom is here for the Easter holiday, she offered to help out with the recipe by making the dough.  Now, you can always use Phyllo Dough Sheets which is what I was going to do in the first place.  But on the other hand who would give up the opportunity of eating homemade Puff Pastry Dough.  🙂  If you are interested in trying out your rolling pin skills, I will post the Puff Pastry Sheet recipe in a future post.  

This specific pie took about 2 hours to bake, so keep this mind if you decide that you would like try out this recipe. 

Have a great weekend everyone!!  See ya next week 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    There are a lot of great vegetarian dishes in Greek cuisines and this is one of them! I like to garnish mine with chives right after it comes out of the oven.
