Tomato Pie

I grew up on a farm. There were 10 of us kids and our parents and nothing was wasted. When and if there was leftover mashed potatoes and sliced tomatoes,(and we tried to leave some cause we liked this) Mom would make this tomato pie. Then again, she would sometimes threaten to make potato cakes if we didn't eat all the mashed potatoes. We would clean them up cause we hated potato cakes!
