If you don’t know what they are you are in for a big treat!! Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, and Beef in a pie crust, roasted to deliciousness. My father oftentimes calls them a glorified samosa!

Pasties come into the Delish In A Pinch home every single Fall and peek in and say hello in Winter. This recipe comes from my Great Grandmother Vega. She brought it over with her from Ireland and settled in Butte, Montana. Butte, had a large mining community and pasties were an easy transport for lunch pales. This is her base recipe that I have cut down and added a little cumin, made them smaller, and changed their shape.

They go wonderfully with gravy, ketchup, or on their own.

You will smell pasties in the air when they are just right.

Need to make them in a pinch? Buy prepared pie crust, roll it out, and cut the crust into four.

Pasties originated from Cornwall England, about 900 years ago.
