I used Ann's pastry for the crust. I am pastry challlenged and this one works for me every time. Look at how flaky it is. I included it at the end, with Ann's notes.



1 Tbsp Butter or margarine
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 ½ lbs red potatoes cut into 1" chunks
1 large onion, chopped
½ tsp salt, divided
¼ tsp sugar
3 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1" chunks
¾ cup water
¼ cup chopped parsley
2 pie crusts
1 cup shredded, reduced-fat Jarlsberg cheese

In large skillet heat butter and oil over med heat; add potatoes, onion, ¼ tsp salt and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 15 min. until potatoes are just tender.

Add apples to skillet and cook 5 min longer, stirring frequently, until apples are lightly browned on edges.

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Add water to skillet and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5-10 minutes, until potatoes and apples are very tender. Stir in parsley and remaining ¼ tsp salt.

Prepare bottom piecrust in 9" pie plate. (If using packaged crusts, unfold but do not sprinkle with flour.) Spoon filling mixture into crust – sprinkle with cheese.

Lay remaining crust over filling. Turn under overhanging crust and, using fingertips, press gently around pie plate to make a fluted edge.

Cut a few slits in center of pastry to allow steam to escape.

Bake 25 minutes or until crust is golden. Let stand 20 minutes.

Butter-Lard Pastry

==================

2 cups all purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup lard (or shortening- Crisco)

5 to 6 tablespoons of ice water


(note: if using for a sweet pie, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar.)

.

Mix flour with salt, and cut in butter and lard.


(Note: I use the cuisinart to cut in my fat and then move the mixture

to a bowl to add the water by hand).

I like to have to do this by feel which I find I can't do by machine)


Put flour mixture in bowl and add water mixing with a fork until pastry

comes together. Form in to a ball and cut in two pieces. Form each

into a round flat disc and refrigerate for 1 hour.
