Cooking steps

1. Combine sifted flour, salt, and diced cold butter in a food processor. Beat until crumbly (can chop on the table with a knife). Add the egg and beat again. If necessary, add 1 tablespoon of ice water to gather the crumbs into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

   • Butter: 150 g

2. Roll out the chilled dough into a thin layer, place it in a greased mold, and trim the excess edges. Poke holes in the dough with a fork. Place the mold with the dough in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Cover the dough with parchment paper, and place a large handful of dry beans on top to keep the pie crust from losing its shape. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the beans and parchment. Bake for another 5 minutes until the crust is golden.

4. Boil the potatoes until half-cooked. Peel and cut into cubes. Cut the tomatoes in half and chop the onion.
