For a richer flavor, substitute chicken or beef broth for the water. Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the filling for added depth. Experiment with other spices, such as nutmeg or ginger, to customize the flavor profile. For a flakier crust, use cold butter or shortening when making homemade pastry. Tourtière can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

01 Step
Recipe View Step 1: Prepare the Potato (1 hour - 1 hour 10 minutes): Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick the potato several times with a fork and place it directly onto the baking sheet. Bake until easily pierced with a fork. Let cool slightly (about 10 minutes), then discard the skin and mash the flesh until smooth.
02 Step
Recipe View Step 2: Cook the Filling (1 hour): In a large skillet, combine the mashed potato, ground pork, minced onion, water (or broth), salt, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the filling is very thick and most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
03 Step
Recipe View Step 3: Assemble the Pie (15 minutes): Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a deep-dish pie plate with one of the pie crusts. Spoon the pork and potato filling evenly into the prepared crust.
04 Step
Recipe View Step 4: Bake the Pie (50 minutes): Cover the filling with the remaining pie crust. Crimp the edges to seal and brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a golden-brown finish. Sprinkle with paprika for added color. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil.
05 Step
Recipe View Step 5: Serve and Enjoy (5 minutes): Let the tourtière cool slightly before slicing and serving warm. Enjoy this taste of French Canadian tradition!
