Taste & texture
In Ossetia this pie is called kartofjyn. Soft, buttery mashed potatoes are mixed with mildly salty Ossetian cheese and sealed in thin dough, then baked until golden. The filling is creamy and comforting, with just enough salt from the cheese to make it moreish.
Ideas to try
- Brushed with butter and served with a fresh green salad
- Alongside a bowl of borscht or chicken soup
- With a glass of cold matsoni or kefir
Good to know
The filling is made with the same Ossetian cheese we sell on its own: try our slightly salty Ossetian brynza. For a meat-lover’s option, there is our Ossetian beef pie.
