I know you may hear the name “funeral potato” and not instantly think of a delicious cheesy potato dish, but this one is. Funeral potatoes are a famous Idaho and Utah dish that is traditional for families to bring to an after-funeral luncheon. A very simple, yet tasty dish always here to warm people’s stomachs and indulge in something so creamy. There are usually so many leftovers that I can’t help, but think of something fun to repurpose them into. Why not empanadas? Using a store-bought pie crust, we’re going to cut out empanada wrappers and stuff this pastry to the gills with cheesy potatoes, fry them up, and enjoy them the next day. You can just as easily bake them, but why not indulge in something even better? Serve them up with a delicious creamy dipping sauce.
If you’re making these from scratch, you are going to need some time to first bake your cheesy potatoes, then let them cool. Best to do this overnight because the more firm the potatoes are, the easier to stuff the empanadas. While your potatoes are baked, take the time to cut your pie dough into the perfect size empanada wrapper. Wrap these in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for an easy project the next day.
When stuffing, use a fork to seal the edges on both sides to give that classic empanada fan. Don’t worry if some of the cheesy potatoes are squeezing out as long as the seal on the fan is tight. Freeze or refrigerate your appetizers until ready for cooking. Make a lot of these and just save for a rainy day or unexpected visitors. They make such a tasty treat to air fry, bake, or fry. This is by far one of my favorite ways to use up and store leftover potatoes.
After these are baked, they will stay crispy for hours. The buttery flakey pie crust will protect these from drying out and are great for a picnic or summer outdoor barbecue. Transfer these crispy empanadas to a foil tray covered with perforated foil to ensure the crust stays crisp.
I love the taste of these cheesy potatoes wrapped in pie crust. This is a quick method to take leftovers and repurpose them into something even better. If you have the time to make your dough or you can find store-bought empanada wrappers, try it out. It will get infinitely better.

260g bread flour
200g water
15g olive oil
4g salt
2g yeast
For Garlic Topping:
70g garlic, minced
20g olive oil
1g salt
Pepper to taste
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the bread flour, water, olive oil, salt, and yeast until a sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight for low-temperature aging.
Prepare the Garlic Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to its highest setting (around 250°C or 482°F). Oven preheating is essential for a crispy focaccia.
Shape the Dough: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and transfer it to a well-oiled baking sheet. Using your fingers, gently press and stretch the dough to your desired thickness. Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the top and bottom of the dough, ensuring it is well-coated.
Add the Topping: Spread the garlic mixture evenly over the top of the dough.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the focaccia is golden brown and crispy, about 15-20 minutes. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Serve: Remove the focaccia from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into pieces. Enjoy your ultra bubbly garlic focaccia bread warm.

TIPS AND TRICKS
Low-Temperature Aging: Allowing the dough to rest overnight in the refrigerator enhances the flavor and texture of the focaccia. This slow fermentation process develops a deeper taste.
Olive Oil Generosity: Be generous with the olive oil on both the top and bottom of the dough. This not only prevents sticking but also contributes to the crispy texture of the crust.
Baking Time: Keep an eye on the focaccia while it bakes. Depending on your oven, the baking time might vary. You want a golden brown and crispy crust.
Garlic Preparation: Mince the garlic finely to ensure it spreads evenly across the dough. This ensures every bite is packed with garlic flavor.
Srving Suggestions: Serve the focaccia warm, straight from the oven, for the best taste. Pair it with a simple salad, a bowl of soup, or use it as a base for your favorite toppings.
Storing Leftovers: Store any leftover focaccia in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Reheat in the oven to regain its crispiness.
Herb Variations: Experiment with adding fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano to the dough or topping for extra flavor.
Thickness Preference: If you prefer a thinner focaccia, press the dough out more before baking. A thicker dough will result in a softer, more bread-like texture.
Salt Levels: Adjust the amount of salt in the dough and topping to suit your taste. Remember, the olive oil and garlic will also add to the flavor.
Alternative Flours: While bread flour is recommended for its gluten content, you can experiment with all-purpose flour or a blend of flours for different textures.

Start by beating the egg, sugar, and vanilla sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture becomes foamy and light. Add the grated rind of one lemon to infuse the dough with a refreshing citrus aroma. Add the softened butter and continue to beat until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Sift the flour and baking powder together to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent. Gradually add this dry mixture to the egg and butter mixture, stirring gently. Continue until a dough forms. The dough should be smooth and not sticky.
Divide the dough into two portions, making one slightly larger than the other. Roll out the larger portion into a circle and use it to line the bottom of a 25 cm (10 inch) cake tin. Make sure the dough fits snugly against the edges, then use a fork to pierce the base of the dough all over. This helps prevent bubbling during baking.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Whisk thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully mixed. Add the cornstarch and lemon juice to the milk mixture and continue to whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a custard-like consistency. This process may take several minutes, so be patient and keep stirring to avoid burning or curdling.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the cream to cool slightly. After it has cooled, fold in the sour cream or mascarpone to add a rich, tangy flavor and extra creaminess to the filling.
Spread the cooled cream filling evenly over the prepared dough in the cake tin, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Drain the peaches well, then slice them thinly. Arrange the peach slices over the cream filling in an even layer, covering the entire surface.
Roll out the smaller portion of the dough into a circle, just large enough to cover the top of the cake. Carefully place this dough over the peaches, gently pressing the edges to seal. Trim any excess dough if necessary.
Lightly beat the egg white until frothy, then brush it over the top layer of dough. This will give the cake a beautiful sheen when baked. Sprinkle a handful of sliced almonds over the top for a delightful crunch and an elegant finish.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the almonds are lightly toasted. The cake should be firm to the touch and the edges should be slightly pulling away from the tin.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This cake can be served warm or at room temperature, making it versatile for any setting.
