IRISH MASH POTATO Pastry APPLE cake. More a pie than a cake really. . .

The Irish Potato and Apple Cake, often referred to as a pie due to its structure and components, is a traditional Irish dish that combines two staple foods of Ireland: potatoes and apples. The dish is a unique blend of sweet and savory flavors, making it a versatile recipe that can be served as a dessert, snack, or even a side dish.

The "cake" is made by encasing sliced apples in a pastry made from mashed potatoes. This pastry differs from typical flour-based pastries; it's denser and has a unique texture, thanks to the potatoes. To enhance the flavors, the filling usually consists of tart apples, sweetened and spiced with sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes lemon zest.

To make this dish, the mashed potatoes are mixed with a little flour and butter, creating a dough-like consistency that can be rolled out to form the bottom and top layers of the pie. The apple mixture is then placed between these layers, and the pie is baked until the apples are tender and the pastry is slightly golden.

The result is a dish that marries the comforting, earthy flavors of potatoes with the sweet tartness of apples, offering a unique taste experience. It's a testament to the resourcefulness of Irish cooking, using simple, locally available ingredients to create a hearty and delightful dish.

Serving this pie warm, often with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, brings out the best of its flavors, making it a comforting treat, especially during the colder months.

Despite its simplicity, the Irish Potato and Apple Cake is a cherished recipe that showcases the ingenuity of traditional Irish cuisine, providing a delicious way to celebrate the country's culinary heritage.
