Delaware White Potato Pie

This recipe is from a local Church recipe book called "Heavenly Delights." It was submitted by Anna Mc Allister who is known to be a great cook. She noted that for best results, make sure the potatoes are still warm when making the pie. Try it and I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
