My sweet old mom had a dear Irish lady friend who loved these and gave me the recipe, very similar to this one.

"Mary" came from Ireland as a young girl to work as a maid servant in Boston. When her daughter later took the grandchildren back to see the old homestead, it was basically a "mud dwelling with straw" as she described it. Mary later lived a good life in our town as her daughter married a doctor.

Mary was a real sweetheart and would speak longingly of these meat pies from her childhood..........which she later made for her own children.

The only difference,of course, was we used real potatoes.......scroll down for recipe.

My sainted Irish stepdad also loved these........(read the cute story that goes along with the pronounciation of these “turnovers” or “little pies”)

P.S. THE RECIPE IS AT THE VERY END OF THE ABOVE HYPERLINK.........
