2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mushroom Filling:
500g mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, grated
1/2 cup cream
1 cup grated cheese (e.g., mozzarella, cheddar)
Fresh dill for garnish
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:
Prepare the Potato Crust:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Mash the boiled potatoes in a large bowl. Add butter, egg, salt, and pepper, mixing until smooth.
Press the potato mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a greased pie pan, forming a crust. Set aside.
Prepare the Mushroom Filling:
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant.
Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
Stir in the grated carrot and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the cream, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Pie:
Spoon the mushroom filling into the prepared potato crust.
Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh dill.
Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
