Potato Pastry Dough

Submitted by YummySmellsca

"Adapted slightly from Vicki's Vegan Kitchen (Square One (2011)). This is a super tender, but easy to work with pastry dough that can be modified for savoury tarts by simply removing the sugar and nutmeg. This recipe is best suited for bottom crusts, but rolled thinly it can be used as a topper too. This is also delicious made with sweet potatoes, especially for apple pie."

I used sweet potatoes and turned it into a chicken pot pie. Super tasty.

This is awesome. Like WW says - tender and easy to work with. Nice results without worrying too much about technique. I made it without the sugar and nutmeg and used it for beany empanada-type things.
