Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into quarters. Cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling, salted water until fork tender. Drain the potatoes, and put them through a potato masher and then back into the pot together with the egg.

Then add the milk, season with pepper and mix all together.

Put the pecorino sardo on a chopping board, cut it into cubes and add to potatopes.

Then heat the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan, place in it the sausage and cook for about 10 minutes or until it becomes brown.

When it is ready, add it to the potatoes mixture and mix.

Put the mixture over the dough and sprinkle with some Parmesan.

Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown. In the meanwhile prepare 1 egg hard-boiled. Then cut it into 2 halves and when the pie is ready put them over it. Serve warm, or at room temperature. This is the result:
