Tips

– You can use a store-bought puff pastry roll (you can find it in the supermarket fridge counter) or you can decide to make it at home. Alternatively, you can also prepare a savory shortcrust pastry, a crusty pastry or a quick brisée.

– As it's very versatile, savory pies can be considered as “empty fridge” recipes. You can stuff them with some vegetable left from lunch, a cold cut of your choice or yet another cheese. You can replace the creamy spreadable cheese with stracchino, crescenza, robiola or, if you want a more stringy consistency, even mozzarella cheese (remember to squeeze it well before adding it to the savory pie). You can also use broccoli instead of potatoes.

– If you want a more delicate and light taste, you can replace the pecorino cheese with grated parmesan cheese.

– The potato and sausage pie can be made in advance and stored in the oven or at room temperature until serving.
