Recipe - Beef Tourtiere (French Canadian Meat Pie)

6 x Or 7 medium potatoes
2 tablespoon Oil
1 One half pound Medium ground beef
1 lg Onion, minced
One fourth teaspoon Allspice
One fourth teaspoon Cinnamon
One fourth teaspoon Garlic salt
Salt and pepper to taste
Pastry for 2 doublecrust
9inch pies

COMMENTS: The large quantity of potatoes and modest amount of seasonning
seems to reduce the beef flavor. We vote for a little less potato and an
extra pinch of spice. Boil potatoes and mash coarsely. Heat oil in large,
heavy duty frying pan and brown beef and onion. Stir in potatoes, allspice,
cinnamon, garlic salt, salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 400'F.. Line two
9inch pie pans with pastry. Using slotted spoon, fill pans with meat
mixture. Cover with top crusts, cutting vents so steam can escape. Bake=

in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until goldenbrown. Makes two
tourtieres. from the Montreal Gazette December 5 1984
