Steps
Step 1
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Boil the potato until tender, drain and mash, then leave to cool.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan, add the mince and onion and quickly fry until browned. Add the garlic, spices, stock, plenty of pepper and a little salt and mix well.
Step 3
Remove from the heat, stir into the potato and leave to cool. Roll out half the pastry and line the base of a 20-23cm pie plate or flan tin.
Step 4
Fill with the pork mixture and brush the edges of the pastry with water. Roll out the remaining dough and cover the pie.
Step 5
Press the edges of the pastry to seal, trimming off the excess. Prick the top of the pastry case to allow steam to escape and glaze the top with the beaten egg.
Step 6
Bake for 30 mins until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve cut into wedges with a crisp green salad.

Substitutions
potato (sweet potato or another starchy side) → sweet potato or another starchy side
Cook time changes. Sweet potato browns faster.
pork → mushroom
Chopped mushrooms plus a splash of soy. Different dish, same comfort.
onion → shallot
Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have.
garlic (garlic powder or a pinch of onion) → garlic powder or a pinch of onion
1 clove ≈ ¼ tsp garlic powder. The fresh bite will be missing.
egg (silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)) → silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)
Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
