butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a subtle flavor and is dairy-free.

scotch bonnet pepper

💰Cheaper: jalapeño

Jalapeño provides heat but is milder and more accessible.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes add sweetness and nutrients.

Heat oil in a saucepan until hot.

Add chopped onion, pimento, and garlic to the oil with a little salt; sauté for 1-2 minutes until tender and fragrant.

Set the sautéed aromatics aside to cool.

Boil potatoes in salted water until tender; mash until smooth.

Mix mashed potatoes with jira and the sautéed aromatics; taste and adjust salt as needed.

In a bowl, combine 1 cup paleo baking flour, 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt; mix well.

Gradually add water to the flour mixture until it comes together into a soft dough; knead for about 2 minutes.

Drizzle a little oil on the dough ball and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Use a large Ziploc bag; oil one half and press a 3-inch ball of dough onto the oiled side.

Cover with the other half of the plastic and smooth out to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Add potato filling to the center, fold over, and press down on the edges to seal.

Cut excess dough with a round cover for a clean edge; place on a wire rack.

Repeat until all pies are made; spritz with cooking spray.

Air fry at 400°F for 35 minutes until golden and crispy.
