Peel and chop the 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 oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Mix the sautéed onion and garlic into the mashed potatoes.

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

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a separate bowl, combine flour, 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 the egg with 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.
