  • Preparation: 30 min
  • Cooking: 40 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (166 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, gluten

Ingredients

  • 80 g Potatoes, raw
  • 6 g Butter, unsalted
  • 25 g Lingonberries, raw or frozen
  • 5 g Sugar
  • 0.3 g Salt
  • 30 g Flour, rye
  • 20 g Water, cold

Method

  1. Boil the peeled potatoes for 15-20 minutes until soft, drain and mash them smooth with half the butter.
  2. Crush the lingonberries lightly with the sugar and stir them into the mash with a pinch of the salt.
  3. Heat the oven to 275°C. Mix the rye flour, water and the rest of the salt into a firm dough, adding a little more flour if it sticks.
  4. Divide the dough in two and roll each piece out on a rye-floured surface into a thin round about 12 cm across.
  5. Spread a heaped spoonful of filling over the middle of each round, then fold up and pinch the edge all round to make small open pies.
  6. Bake on a tray lined with baking paper for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is crisp and the filling lightly browned in places.
  7. Brush with the rest of the butter, melted, as soon as they come out, and cover with a cloth for a few minutes to soften the crust. Eat warm or cold.
