Meat and Potato Pie | Hollands Meat Pie Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 мар 2018
- Meat and Potato Pies are quite traditional in Northern England, and especially in Lancashire. While it wouldn't pass muster with the clean/healthy eating brigade, a meat and potato pie is perfect comfort food on a cold winter evening. One legendary brand of Potato and Meat Pies is Hollands Pies. Hollands have made pies in Lancashire since 1851, and their pies are sold in chip shops and at football matches across the North of England. In this video, I do a quick taste test of a Holland's Pie, and then I make my own meat and potato pie from scratch. It's quite easy and utterly delicious.

Nice guys. You took me back to my mother's kitchen where we as kids were watching our mum backing apple pie and meat pies the same way you were doing. Once in a while, she allowed us to bake our own apple pie. The warning "put your pinafore on first" still sounds across the ages. For you maybe not so extraordinary, but now I am a 69-year-old Dutchman who still bakes pies like my (English) mother taught me and I love to see my kids and grandchildren enjoy them.
Excellent!
When I were a lad in the 60's I did my time as a Butcher and we made 'Hand Raised' Pork Pie's. The hot water pastry
was weighed out but always left overnight and moulded nicely around the 'Doofa' (If there is a proper name for the
wooden former we used I never knew; it nor did my Boss who had used one all his life!) Needless to say the pies were
delicious. Now; after many years, I am inspired to put on my 'pie head' and have a bash at baking again. Thanks Matey.
Doofa, lol. The proper names is a Dolly.😀
Alan Toon mmmm, but never heard of a meat and potato pie made with a hot crust pastry? Pork pie,, yes.
Ah, how I wish we could get a decent pork pie in Australia. Every trime I return to England that is one of the first things I buy.
Eating a Holland's meat and potato pie..now called a potato and meat pie, it takes me back 33 years ago when I lived "up north". Nothing beats it then, and now. Drowned in Lea and Perrin's sauce, it's my ultimate comfort blanket 👍👍😃
Hi Keef! Thank you very much for the effort. What a wonderful video. Excellent quality! Both the pies and the show.
I'll have to try this recipe soon! Also love it when your wife joins you for the taste test. Great video!
Being a Lancastrian they look bloomin lovely.
Proppa pie!
Awesome I am inspired once again. Thank you Chef Keef
Fantastic presentation Keef! We love our pies as well. Your passion for the craft is very evident. Here’s to “good eats!”
Love how you done the pastry into the dish. 54 years and it's something new. You clever bugga!
LOL
The meat and potato pies of my Lancashire youth were full of meat and potato chunks.fresh from the shop in those days, no microwaves.
More Mrs. KeefCooks! She's a lovely balance to your very technical (but excellent) commentary! I love her comment about the pies being crispy on the top and "squidgy" on the bottom!
She's very observant!
Great video, love this recipe and more Mrs Keef Cooks please !!
Me again! Fabulous - Mums favourite for us and definitely a Yorkshire favourite in our Family. Thanks Keef, this is going to be one of our next creations. Mum was a C&G Diploma cook and I still have her knives which she worked hard for and saved for from Peter Maturis in Leeds. ✅
Great video as usual.
I grew up on this stuff coming from Darwen. Every other Sunday and bonfire night we always had this but a huge one with a crust on top, raw onions that had been soaked in a bucket for a couple of days in vinegar, and of course home made mushy peas.
Proper food made by proper people. Great recipe. Can't wait to try it! Thanks :)
flipin eck im from accrington just up road from hollands pies and what you said made me chuckle ,respect fella!
Love all your cooking Keef!
Hollands pies used to be gray inside. As a kid in Swinton in the 60's I used to go to the "chippy" once in a while for our dinner. I had to get chips and peas at the "chippy" then go 2 doors down to the bakery that made "real" meat and potato pies because the "chippy" only had Hollands pies.
When I was in Stoke on Trent where I was born...my parents and I lived at Trentham and used to go to Longton Market to buy meat and potato pies...best I have ever had and we bought them regularly. We moved to Cornwall in 1969 and bought some Cornish pasties...Oh my, were they delicious or what!!!😋😋 Your pies look delicious, now they are definitely a beautiful pie... remind me of pasties a little but no swede in them but could make them into pasty pies adding swede..yaay!!! Thanks for sharing your lovely video and your wife is lovely xxx
Great job keef! Can't wait to try this one mate !😁
When I was a commis waiter at the Granby Hotel in Harrogate, Mr Walter Holland of pie fame used to come to dinner in the grill room. He was a nice man. When our Catholic seminary needed re-roofing he gave a generous donation. I don't think he was a Catholic either.
I quite agree Hollands pies have been going for over 170 years so they must be doing something right.
My God! My mouth is watering profusely! I want one, now❤️ Total YUM!
These videos make me so happy.
That looks stunning, chuffed to have found your channel, reyt lad.
Thanks for your nice cooking show. I can’t wait to trying my own Meat and Potato Pies.
LOVED this video. Made my day. Love the Discworld references and the whole mood of the video is awesome. And the part at the end where your wife comes out to join you is so cute
Thanks for making the Meat and Potato Pies, they're on next week's menu. Ah! good old mushy peas, I remember my Grandmar, Mam and Mother-in-Law soaking the dried marrowfat peas overnight, along with the tablet included in the packet, before cooking. A lot of messing about granted, but what a taste, yummy!
Oh yeah, home made mushy peas. 😀
Oh God, there's something I had forgotten... thanks Ann, great trip down memory lane, amazing how simple things can make you remember so much...
Just made this but as a single large pie. Tastes awesome -took me back to my child-hood when I used to eat it at my grandmas (especially with the marrowfat peas).
Ey up!!!!!! Yorkshire couple in BC Canada here are grateful for your recipe and enjoyed the good old Yorkshire banter too. Delicious
Our pleasure!
Sweet gentle Jesus in the garden.......the sound that crust made when ya cut it. Made my mouth water like crazy.
Since first obtaining your hot water and lard pastry, 🙏💁♀️ it's the only recipe I use for all my savoury pies and it astounds my guests .....BEST EVER👌👌👌🏴🇿🇦
Great videos and recipes, keep up the good work.
Just made this recipe and of course it's delicious! Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe!
Glad you liked it!!
I've watched this several times. Scrumptious. 👍
You did a great job on this video, I am anxious to give this a try. Ray
I loved the comment on the left over pastry, of put it in the refrigerator for a week or two before you throw it away. That is exactly what I do! :) I'm not a traditionalist, so I'll stuff some cheese in them as well.
Thank you Keef. You answered my question about shortening I left on another recipe of yours. I enjoy your videos and hope to be baking my own meat and potato pies
Good luck John.
Very nice looking pies, going to try these. Thanks for sharing. 🥧
Can't wait to make these. They look amazing.
Thanks for sharing your video Keef! I live in Canada🇨🇦 and we don't get the real comfort food that you guy's have over in Blighty! Going to try this tomorrow for dinner! I remember having a Hollands pie when we on vacation a couple of years ago! It didn't look anything like your recipe!
Looks delicious great idea about the cutting the pastry.
Looks so good thanks keef xx👍👍🏴🏴
Love all your pies that you do Keef ,Glad to see Mrs Keef enjoying them also lol
Oh she loves a good pie!
Really enjoyable video I have got to try this with hot water and lard pastry !!! looked delish !!!
I am absolutely going to give this a go soon. Gotta upgrade my oven first though. Haha~
My current one isn't so nice, and doesn't bake reliably over 200C
Yummy! I’m so hungry must try! Thank you!
Just wanted to say I made both a steak and kidney and a chicken and mushroom pie to your recipe today for a family gathering and both were loved by everyone so thank you very much, I love the hot water pastry its so easy to make and to roll out. I'm all pied out for this week so will try this one next week.
Thanks Amanda!
Look super yumm!! I feel like making this right now.
"put the leftover pastry in the fridge the chuck it out after a week or two"
lol.😄 😂😁. ... so true... hahahaha 😂
those pies look amazing 👍
Yes it is a secret cult across the globe. Fridge worship is carried out by all cultures, small food tokens left until stale or moldy best in twee little dishes then thrown away. I have seen this strange practice throughout decades with chants such as 'save for later' or I'll make soup this weekend. I didnt know it had reached northern england but sure enough fridge worship knows no boundaries. How do we stamp it out!!
As a Lancashire lad (living in NZ for past 45 years) Hollands pies are still in my memory.I think they included onions which were always a bit undercooked and bitter. However, NZ mass produced pies are totally crap. Best option here is a bakery shop (usually owned by Cambodians) . They do what is called Potato Top, which is really cottage pie.
‘Poncey garden peas’ settle down keef your getting a bit gangster 😂 great stuff mate I’ve enjoyed watching your channel grow!
Bowens pies made in Adlington here in Lancashire make a delicious Potato & Meat Pie and a decent size too! Shame it's Sunday and their local shop in Chorley is closed....Monday it is then.
He makes the pies that make the whole village sing
Great looking pies keef well done mate top cook regards Dave.
Fun fact, they call it potato and meat pie because theirs more potato than meat. (legally they have to say that). I've been binging your channel whilst hungry and consuming wine; made my Saturday evening fine sir.
You made that pie look so delicious. I clicked like and have subscribed. Thank you! Now I have to go back and write down the ingredients for the crust.
Cheers Jay!
Awww 😍 what a sweet couple ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hit the like and got you 2k thumbs up ! Well deserved Keef that was a great tutorial . Subbed you
Thanks and welcome
The final product looks absolutely delicious and *loads* better than the mass produced "pie" at the beginning! Also, cheers from another Pratchett fan!
Cheers Runes
Thanks Keef. You did a lovely meat and potato pie. Looks delish.
But I did have to giggle when you took a bite of the microwaved meat pie cuz I knew it was so hot and because I’ve done that so many times👍🏻🤣
Love your cooking videos.
RIP Sir Pterry. Love Discworld so much, great references.
I shall be trying your hot water pastry. It looks lush 😘 great video...
As a lad, living in Aslindon Lancashire in the mid 60's. The meat pies they used to bake in the local bakeries were something I will remember for the rest of my days.
And have never been replicated since.
Everybody seems to remember pies as being a lot better than they are now. I think you meant Haslingden?
Spot on
Lovely! When I came to the states, well sort of ”outer state” I learned the name ”Pot Pie”. but quite different, not the same flavours or crusts. i watched I learned, I wanted a taste. Your new sound & camera is well done.
Thanks Hualani
I've never had a meat and potato pie but I think you've tempted me to make it, thank you
Yeah, it's worth a try!
I want some !!! Looks so tasty !!
I love these pies. I have a dedicated program function in the microwave for them.
6 minutes microwave power followed by 5 minutes grill power. Perfect every time.
I like your channel really much!
Greetings from Germany!
Welcome Hans!
The Hollands pie van used to arrive around 8am at my Fathers chippy in the 60's. Trays up on trays of Meat and Potato pies, Meat pies, Cheese and onion pies and Steak and Kidney puddings. The biggest difference I instantly noticed on a recent trial is that everything has been ground up. I couldn't find an onion or a piece of potato. The Cheese an onion had a filling of yellow paint.
To add to it all the jar of piccalilli I bought to go with them, had also been chopped up.
Spot on with the milk wash, it was probably Sterilized milk well into the 70's.
As ever - brilliant !
Hi Mrs Keef. Looks like a stampede to the pies...so hungry now!!!
They look gorgeous! Mmm
i shouldn't worry about the healthy eating brigade..that pie looks delicious..am gonna make one.anyway homemade is healthy cos WE know whats in it,no preservatives etc...well done made me hungry
Nice one keef will have a go at that
Having been living in the US for 8 years, I've been yearning for a hollands pie (I'm from Manchester) came across this video and I'm gonna make this soon. Looks delish! Keep up the good work!
Good luck Andy!
Where is US Andy? Im from Oldham living in Arizona. I was originally searching how to make oven bottom muffins when this popped up in my line of sight ha ha
Funny how you get yearnings.. I'm from Manchester too been here 18 years now, always liked Hollands pies and also the shiny green and black delivery trucks. these pies do look good so I may try them too... I hope you aren't in Tucson
@@Jackietruth68 hmm Arizona..... bandit country
@@timwaywell Currently in Cave Creek, just outside Phoenix, at moment, looking to move but having trouble finding a new spot with this insane housing market. I need some green grass and rain ha ha
You'll get a better result with the Hollands pie if you bake it for 32-35 mins. I find them pretty tasty and am happy to have found a source for Holland's in Berlin! However - I am sure yours are going to be much better! I will try this hopefully soon.
a meat and potato pie that is 90% not meat ? Yours is a hands down winner, I do like a good pie.
Looks a lovely pie keef
The one I made? Oh yeah!
Looks delicious!
It is indeed “one good looking pie”.
From a Lancashire lad who eats his Holland’s pie at the footy match, they keep you warm and that’s all, anyway thank you for the video.
From what many people say, they're not a patch on what they used to be.
Those are some fine pies sir, take a bow.
I've got one tomorrow. 55p from Tesco. I like them
Nice one Keef. After the success of my Northern Style Pork Pies, (using your recipe) I'm going to have a shot of making these beauties................Cheers.
Good luck!
My Maternal Grand dad was from Lancashire. Dad was a Holland from Canada via Scotland. { Holland-Irish name }
When you mentioned Discworld I was waiting for you to say it's like a pie from C.M.O.T Dibbler
I don't want to be sued by Holland's!
I was taught by my mother move the pastry around as you roll it
Turning it over ,makes it hard and tough
Never heard of that before, but hard and tough are great attributes for this kind of pie.
Looks good.
Quick Lancashire Granny's tip: if you've not got time to flour and brown off your meat, simply add a level teaspoon of Black Treacle to give that caramelized flavour to your pie gravy.

Interesting
Gosh! I was in Oldham today with Robert and Lawrence and Maxine 14 at Sainsbury’s! Thanks darlin! Nice to see a friendly face in a very unfriendly area!
Umm, don't know
Keef is a gentleman.
i just realised keef, i got married 40 years ago next june, our reception was meat n potato pie peas and gravy with onions at the local pub, wife has never forgot it, cant think why except she mustve enjoyed it.
Classic!
a beautiful pie sir............................thanks
I used to sell a lot of them when I was a bar maid and I never ate one unless truly desperate and starving. Much preferred meat a potato pies fresh from real bake shops. 😍
Pie peas and gravy 🙋😍
Holland’s are handy to have in the freezer, often on offer for hardly anything. The filling is minimal but good for an easy quick meal with some mash, veg and gravy.
Yes, my mam and dad used to always keep a couple of Holland's pies in the freezer .. dad called it the pie mine 😆
Your wife is so lucky to have a husband that cooks and also such tasty meals that you prepare.
When I was young my neighbour worked at said pie factory and the meat for those pies was Scottish beef steak. The potatoes were mostly locally grown. The pies were incredibly good back then. No wonder I’m now a vegan looking at those slop filled pastry things.
Last I heard (I'm a Lancashire lad) the original owners of Hollands sold out to a company of Asian origin. their products, in my personal opinion, have gone steadly downhill ever since.
The pie looks good, the chatting about Discworld was even better.
I'm surprised how many Pratchett fans have come out of the woodwork. Just don't call me Dibbler!
Mmm scrumming.
Do you do requests Keith? I love cheese & onion pie.
Seen a few versions over the years, if you do a good one on your channel I'll jolly well become a patron.
Cheers mucker!
I've done minced beef & cheese: www.keefcooks.com/minced-beef-and-cheese-australian-pie/ and I thought I'd done cheese and onion pasty, but it seems I'm wrong. I used to do cheese onion & potato because without the spuds there wasn't much bulk to the filling.
