IRISH MASH POTATO Pastry APPLE cake. More a pie than a cake really. . .
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The Irish Potato and Apple Cake, often referred to as a pie due to its structure and components, is a traditional Irish dish that combines two staple foods of Ireland: potatoes and apples. The dish is a unique blend of sweet and savory flavors, making it a versatile recipe that can be served as a dessert, snack, or even a side dish.
The "cake" is made by encasing sliced apples in a pastry made from mashed potatoes. This pastry differs from typical flour-based pastries; it's denser and has a unique texture, thanks to the potatoes. To enhance the flavors, the filling usually consists of tart apples, sweetened and spiced with sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes lemon zest.
To make this dish, the mashed potatoes are mixed with a little flour and butter, creating a dough-like consistency that can be rolled out to form the bottom and top layers of the pie. The apple mixture is then placed between these layers, and the pie is baked until the apples are tender and the pastry is slightly golden.
The result is a dish that marries the comforting, earthy flavors of potatoes with the sweet tartness of apples, offering a unique taste experience. It's a testament to the resourcefulness of Irish cooking, using simple, locally available ingredients to create a hearty and delightful dish.
Serving this pie warm, often with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, brings out the best of its flavors, making it a comforting treat, especially during the colder months.
Despite its simplicity, the Irish Potato and Apple Cake is a cherished recipe that showcases the ingenuity of traditional Irish cuisine, providing a delicious way to celebrate the country's culinary heritage.

My mum used to make a wonderful dish she called Potato Lemon cheesecake....it consisted of a layer of shortcrust pastry in a flan tin, spread with jam then a mixture of mashed potatoes, sugar , eggs and lemon zest and juice was spread on top before baking...and then chilled overnight in the fridge.....it was very special .I have never come across anyone else who knew this recipe....I recommend it highly.
Interesting! Thank you. Best, Rik
I like the sound of that 😋
So different from any I've ever heard of. Thank you for sharing your memories ❤️
I would like to express appreciation for your Mum and yourself
Does indeed sound delicious
That sounds so good!!
This pastry would be delicious with a savory filling too!
Oh yeah!
Yes indeed! Meat and potato amazing! Thank you. Best, Rik
My son is adding you to his viewing list I've been telling him how laid back you are and what wonderful British recipes you show. He lives in the Netherlands. 😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
The pastry alone is worth the make❤
I agree there! Thank you. Best, Rik
Another crackin' recipe. I'd never heard of potato pastry before. So there you go, something new learnt today.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you. Best, Rik
JUST LOOK...AT THAT😋👌 fantastic Rik mate! just finished painting my room and could do with a slice or two of that
Cheers, Dan. Amazing pastry this. Can be used and adapted for savoury fillings. Meat and potato pie would be a cracker. I don't think many are cooking the way I am. Thank you. Best, Rik
Hard to watch without getting hungry. Beautiful results sir.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik you are the master! The Apple of my Pie 🥧 😋 ❤. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to hear what you thought of the potato pastry . Yummm 😋
Ha ha ha, thank you. Its amazing! I would use this for more recipes and sweet potato that will be used soon. Thank you. Best, Rik
So, for me now, I’m out tomorrow, to buy a spring form pie tin. So exited, and can’t wait to experiment.
Ric this pastry would be excellent over a dish or meat and potatoes. Thank you. Best, Rik
Just ordered one from Amazon 😂
Thank you. Best, Rik@@danmorris7983
Looks superb Rik, breathing suppressed, followed by a big round of applause 👏👏👏 went when you released the spring of the cake tin!🎉🥧😆 Much as I’d like to try making this, think my ham-fisted arthritic hands would make a complete dogs dinner out of this one.🫣😂😂 As always - thanks for sharing 🙏 & have a lovely weekend!👨🍳🥧👌😋
Just make a top, apples in a dish pastry over. Its worth a go. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Will give it a go, will call it knickerless 😜 apple pie cheers Rik!😄😂😂
This recipe was brought to you in partnership with the UK Mashed Potato Board. With the number of times Rik mentioned mashed potato I reckon he was rewarded with a container of Smash for every time he said mashed potato ... lol
This certainly was a different way of making pastry, something I had never heard of. I do like a good apple pie and this deep pie looked great
Ha ha ha. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Rik, a question about the lemon Drizzle cake you made a few videos back. I want to try this but don;t have a loaf tin, can I use the same tin you used in this apple pie video? If I can then what will be the cooking time
That crust is a perfect golden color. Great one!!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Glad to see the potato crust in action. It looked very good.
Its amazing! Can be adapted to savoury fillings easily. Thank you. Best, Rik
How Beautifully Beautiful Chef Rik!!!! Praying you are well. I’ve been working a lot.
Welcome back. Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank you so much Rik for keeping these traditions alive!!!❤
Glad you like them! Thank you. Best, Rik
I loved this recipe! I would have never imagined using potatoes this way, it looks amazing. Two of my favorite ingredients together, what could be better... Thanks! Cristina
It is amazing and you can make with any filling, savoury works really well. Thank you. Best, Rik
Ahhhh the Irish know their potatoes 🥔 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔😇🥔if potatoes are too damp I use potato flour to dry it up a bit..
Not too dark… perfection
👏👏☘️
Thank you. Best, Rik
Wow. That apple pie looks delicious. 😋
Thank you. Best, Rik
Lovely.
Thank you. Best, Rik
This looks interesting Rik. I like how you launch a new recipe straight onto RUclips not really knowing how it will turn out. Not many chefs on here would do that!
Yeah Ive cooked for a bit, Id rather just make it and we can all see it can be done or it can't no practice runs here! Thank you. Best, Rik
Wonderful recipe 🎉❤
Glad you liked it. Thank you. Best, Rik
Another great recipe you've shared with us today....thanks Tik 😃
Any time! Thank you. Best, Rik
I can't quite keep up with Sir Rik's recipies. All recorded on a spreadsheet though. Thanks!
Cheers, Tim. No sir here though, Thank you. Best, Rik
This is the one I’ve been waiting excitedly for and it did not disappoint , yes yes yes it looks amazing like a cross between a pie and a steamed pudding can’t wait to try one and of cause have some cheese with mine , thank you Rik you smashed it and I laughed when you said delicately chuck it in 😂👌Amanda xx
It's so good! Thank you. Best, Rik
Thank God it worked, looks lovely but I'm not sure I could get past the potato cake in my head, thank you for a previously unknown from IRL.
You’re welcome 😊Thank you. Best, Rik
Great channel Rick...always look forward to seeing what you have made each day. Have you ever made a Scottish dish called Stovies? Keep up the good work.👍
Not uploaded yet. Soon. Thank you. Best, Rik
Superb Rik, just superb. I may have to try that as a pizza base.
Yes indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Ye of little faith. Who needs the likes of Paul Hollywood, when we've got you? Your pastries are out of this world, as I've tried them. Sunday is Mother's Day. If I were given a slice of this pie, I'd be over the moon.
Liz, you are amazing! Wait for Sunday Macaroni pie, not the usual way (did you ever think it would be) Thank you. Best, Rik
I wait in anticipation.
Yes please, got to try this
Its worth a go, Thank you. Best, Rik
I eat potatoes nearly every day. I've seen all sorts of recipes that uses potatoes eg bread & flatbreads (awa as a base for fillings to go inside) & mash potato is a great was to thicken sauces, stews, curries & soups instead of using flour. Now I can put potato in pastry too - excellent. Thank you for a very unusual take on a classic recipe. And thank you South America for the gift of the potato.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks good. Like the idea of two textures for the apples, definitely going to make. Thank you--
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh yummy😋. Another one to make thx for the recipe👍👋🇫🇮
Thank you. Best, Rik
I always like a little ginger in an apple pie.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I bought a Kenwood chef 40yrs ago and the recipe book as potato pastry in it.I have always used it for cheese flans and its great.
Without more ado the mash has no milk or butter in it and the creamed mash which you can cream in a machine or hand has to be cold before mixing into a dough.Great show mate
Sounds great! Thank you, Best, Rik
Wow! That looks fabulous. I need a big slice NOW 😋😋😋
Thank you. Best, Rik
When you cut the first slice and carefully went down the side without crumbling the potato pastry, I heard my grandmother say, "Oh ah, they don't let 'em on till they've reared 'em." You really should have a pie shop. I reckon you'd sell out.
Thank you, Paul. I will be making pastry with sweet potato as well now, Thank you. Best, Rik
That was a mailing! Love it, Thank You.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I have been looking for a potato pastry recipe for just on 2 years
Ta 🙏
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
My understanding is that this is specific to Co. Armagh (the Orchard County). I remember having this at home sixty odd years ago. Never thought I’d see a video on it, thanks for that.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I loved watching this one!!! What a concept - potato crust 😍 Thanks for another good one, Ric!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you. Best, Rik
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers! Best, Rik
Drooling……
Thank you. Best, Rik
Omg Rik that’s incredible! My mouth is watering 😊❤
This is actually amazing! This pastry is open to adapting to savoury, meat potato pie etc. Thank you. Best, Rik
Mmmmmmmm. Great job Rik. 😉
Can ya save me a slice of that to. 😂😂😂👍
Certainly! Thank you. Best, Rik
😉 you n your's enjoy pal.
Thanks for putting it out there.😉
Keep on keeping on 😃👍👍👍
My husband would love a savoury filling if you ever have time to experiment Rik. I could almost taste this, it's wonderful. Thank you x
I will. Thank you. Best, Rik
Delicious! Thank you
Thank you. Best, Rik
New subscriber here. Love your channel. I am drooling with every recipe (been catching up watching all your older episodes - YUM, YUM!!) Also, my gran was from Dundalk and she would recognize this particular recipe!
Sorry the older recipes are good the music etc on them is terrible, I was learning. Thank you. Best, Rik
You are fun to watch!
Thank you. Best, Rik
THAT IS AMAZING!!!!
Thank you. Best, Rik
So happy to find this channel! It's giving me lots of ideas for my weekly veg box - I love eating seasonally and locally but it can be a challenge sometimes. Traditional recipes with potatoes, cabbage, turnip, beetroot, leeks etc are a big help
Always taste and adjust, change and chop around we all like different. Thank you. Best, Rik
We don't cook with potatoe pastry enough in the uk, we should as it nutritionally contributes to one of the five main nutrients.... carbohydrate, essential for energy!
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
I'm definitely going to be searching for some decent potatoes to try this! The town I live in, in Costa Rica has old produce, especially the potatoes and onions (and they still get away with charging 13% tax on it all). Love your recipes!!
Wowzer! Ouch! Good luck! Thank you. Best, Rik
I wonder if this was a way of using up left over mashed potato, or because they grew mostly potatoes in Ireland… I have never made this type of pastry and it seems a bit weird to have it with a sweet filling. Great way to do the apples as well giving some solid apple texture. Very interesting all round Rik! 😊
This pastry is amazing! Really! Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Well then, I trust you Rik so will definitely give it a go! Thank you. Love your videos. Unsubscribed all my other cookery channels!
Rik. when I make a german potato bread if the spuds are too wet I chuck in some instant mash to soak up the excess. Always have some in the cupboard for thickening soups and sauces. Got a bit more substance than cornflour.
Great idea. Thank you. Best, Rik
@BackyardChef welcome. You gave me a lack of soggy bottom in my pies. Happy to share a little tip I picked up 25 years ago with you and your subscribers
Thank you. Best, Rik@@chrisfox3161
It’s called potato apple u can still buy it in N.Ireland ❤
Thanks for sharing! Thank you. Best, Rik
The potato shell held perfectly, nice and stiff, but the apples fell out, so gotta figure what is it that keeps a regular pie from falling out like that. Maybe you should have let it sit and cool longer ?? Or is there an ingredient that should go into the apples to make them hold together ?? But no matter if they slide out, the pie seems delicious. I have no complaints .
If cooled it will hold. You can use more cornflour/starch and make a thicker filling, that will work too! Thank you. Best, Rik
I wonder if this dough could be used to make apple fritter dounuts or if it could be modified to be airy like a honey cruller. i am asking because i would love to find a home made dounut recipie that could be baked and soft like the dough you made today. I may have to try one day but who knows i may just forget lol. love the way you cooked the apples its a shame we don't have the english spice here. but i would have used white sugar instead of brown or some splenda if i wanted low calorie. but you have inspired me sir thank you for that.
I'm not sure but really interested indeed. Thank you. Best, Rik
Loved this But I wonder if I could use in a traditional deep pie dish with top and bottom crust? I’m afraid of using springform pan!
Yes indeed! I would imagine if you serve from the dish no problem. I think turning it out would be, The pastry is very soft. Thank you. Best, Rik
How do you make the lovely curry sauce (not curry paste) that you buy with your chips at the local take-away? I asked how it was made and was told they use about half a dozen spicy ingredients, but also including butter. Chips just aren’t the same without curry sauce!
Great suggestion. Thank you. Best, Rik
Dya think it would work with savoury filling of spinach+ ricotta ?
Oh yes indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Bloomin eck ya could aye some pork sausages with that pal 👍🏼
Thank you. Best, Rik
❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Do you have any special seafood dishes for lent? I’m talking easy as well ❤
There are a couple on the channel. Thank you. Best, Rik
A triumph! Potato pastry isn’t something I’ve run across before. Do you know whether the potato was used by preference, or to conserve wheat flour, or to use leftover potatoes, or something else?
Thank you. Best, Rik
I know I'm very late on this so don't know if you will see it. Potato Pastry was also a big war time recipe here in the states, along with Potato Bread and Potato Candy. I've seen it used to make Pasties (hand pies here), sweet or savory, but was also wondering if it is ever used to make a Galette, sweet or savory? Or is it too soft? Shirley in NH
I haven't. However I do not see why it can't. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Thank you, Chef!
Tattie bread and apple pie!
Love the name! Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Tattie bread or Tripled Distilled Rik? 😉
Would it work still with gluten free flour?
I would say yes. Thank you. Best, Rik
Thankyou! 😊
Add some currants maybe - will try this
Thank you. Best, Rik
