Using
convenient potato flakes and refrigerated biscuits at home in
Clarksville, Tennessee, Ellen Osborne makes and freezes an extra batch
of these fast mini pies packed with meat-and-potato flavor. “I’m as
confident serving them to drop-in company as to my husband and three
boys,” she says.
ELLEN’S TIP: “If I’m not rushed for time, I’ll sometimes make these with
homemade biscuits and mashed potatoes.”
