Analyzing cooking steps...
Using cold butter for the pastry is crucial for achieving a flaky texture. Do not let it soften too much.
Avoid overworking the dough during kneading, as this can develop the gluten too much and result in a tough pastry.
Adding evaporated milk to the dough instead of water can significantly enhance its taste and texture.
Lightly boiling the potatoes before adding them to the filling ensures they are tender and cooked through within the pie.
The natural stock generated by the minced meat, combined with the thickening flour, helps to keep the filling moist and flavorful inside the pie.
Thoroughly seal the edges of the pies to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
Adjust seasoning in the filling to your personal preference for salt and pepper.
