Notes

  •  When I eat tourtiere, I like it with gravy. So, I make a nice simple and rich beef gravy to go along.
  • * Some people prefer ketchup over gravy.
  • Use a wash of 1 egg yolk + 1 Tablespoon cold water to get a beautiful crust!
  • * The potatoes absorb much of the excess liquid, producing a moist filling that holds together perfectly and doesn’t sog up the bottom crust.
