Slice them into finger widths and put aside.<\/p>\n<p>In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, yogurt or cream cheese, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.\u00a0 Lay one of the puff pastry sheets flat. Cover with one layer of potato leaving about 2&#8243; (about 4 cm) free at the sides.\u00a0 Add a generous layer of the prepared cream filling.\u00a0 Add another layer of potatoes making the second layer a little smaller than the bottom layer (like making a pyramid) then add\u00a0another layer of cream filling.\u00a0 Add the third layer of potatoes again making the layer smaller than the last and add the final layer of cream filling.<\/p>\n<p>Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the layers.\u00a0 Trim the bottom layer to meet the second layer leaving an inch around the sides. Trim the corners of the pastry leaving 1&#8243; there as well.\u00a0 Fold the sides of the pastry up to seal everything in.<\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, mix the egg. Brush on the folded sides to help seal everything in and brush onto the top to give it a golden crust when cooked.<\/p>\n<p>Bake until cooked (use recommended puffed pastry directions).\u00a0 When cooked, remove from oven and serve hot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a simple potato tort that I haven&#8217;t yet made but will make soon.
