Peel and chop 4 large potatoes into small cubes.

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl.

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat and sauté 1 chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Mix the sautéed onion and garlic into the mashed potatoes.

Stir in cheese, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, cumin, and paprika until well combined.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 100 grams of butter, and a pinch of salt to form a dough.

Roll out the dough and line a pie dish with it, trimming any excess.

Fill the pie crust with the potato and cheese mixture, smoothing the top.

Beat 1 egg with 1 cup of milk and brush over the top of the pie.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
