Spud pie is tops

Rolling Pin Pies & Cakes picked up seven gold medals, four silver and one bronze at the 32nd Official Great Aussie Pie competition in Sydney.

The team also took out the inaugural Best Potato Topped Pie in Australia, making it 20 national titles for the Ocean Grove institution.

Rolling Pin has won more than 400 individual medals.

Rolling Pin’s major winner was its lamb, minted pea and potato pie.

“Our country lamb and rosemary pie, which is the base filling for our winning potato-topped pie, had already won the title of Australia’s Best Gourmet pie and we are always looking for ways to take even our best pies to another level,” manager Nathan Williams said.

“Think Sunday roast or Chrissy dinner. Adding peas, mint jelly and spud seemed like a no-brainer.”

Nathan said the feedback for the new pie had been positive, but not everyone will try it.

“The locals and tourists are loving it, but not everyone will give it a go,” he said.

“Who knew there were people out there that hate peas?”
