Peel and dice the potato and boil in a saucepan for ten minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.

Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until soft.

Add the ground beef, Worcestershire Sauce, paprika and cayenne and cook until browned. Fold in the potatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prep a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper.

Roll out the dough and cut into eight, 4-inch by 6-inch rectangles. Place four rectangles down on the prepped baking sheet. Spoon the filling into the center.

Place another rectangle of dough on top of the filling then crimp the edges together with a fork.

Roll out the dough again and with a cookie cutter cut out Warcraft Horde symbols and place on top of the pies.
