Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1 tablespoon milk
Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour and cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
4. In another mixing bowl, combine sugar, 1/4 cup flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add sliced potatoes and plums, and toss to coat.
5. On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim the edges.
6. Pour the potato and plum mixture into the pie crust. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
7. Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
8. Let the pie cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
