INGREDIENTS:
1 cup mashed potato, cooled 1 cup plain flour 1/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder 3 large green apples 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons honey egg or water, for glazing 1 tablespoon caster sugar, extra whipped cream, to serve



1 Preheat oven to 190 C. Place mashed potato in a bowl. Sift flour, sugar and baking powder over potato, mix with a wooden spoon to form a stiff dough. Refrigerate pastry for 30 minutes.
2 Peel and core apples, cut into 1 cm slices, cover with water to prevent browning while rolling out pastry.
3 Lightly grease a 20 cm pie plate. Divide pastry in half. Roll out one half to fit base of pie plate. Arrange drained apple slices over pastry base, sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey.
4 Roll out remaining pastry to cover top of pie. Trim and decorate edges. Cut three deep slits in pastry to allow steam to escape.
5 Glaze with egg or water and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden. Serve immediately with whipped cream.
6 Hint: Pratie is Irish for potato. Potato pastry is not as crisp as shortcrust and is quite chewy in texture. If using tinned pie fruits, reduce cooking time to 20 minutes.
