Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Carrots, diced
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 package Pie crust dough
• 1 large Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook until fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.

Step 6

Mix in the peas, thyme, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat.

Step 7

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly, until a thickened filling forms. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Roll out the pie crust dough and cut into rounds large enough to line the bottom of ramekins or small ovenproof dishes.

Step 9

Place the dough rounds into the dishes and spoon in the vegetable filling, leaving some room at the top.

Step 10

Top each pie with a layer of mashed potatoes, spreading evenly to cover the filling.

Step 11

Brush the mashed potatoes with a little beaten egg using a pastry brush to help them brown nicely in the oven.

Step 12

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 13

Let the pot pies cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
