Potato Pie

"I thought I better post this so that I would know where it is every time I go to make it. I am tired of searching through umpteem books each time. It is my husband's favorite dish and if I have to be honest I really enjoy it as well. It's a supper dish found in both Monmouthshire and the Welsh counties, traditionally served with pickled beets or pickled red cabbage. We like it with crusty brown bread and pickled beets. It's delicious!"

  1. This dish is a handy way to take mashed potatoes to a pot luck. Just enough cheese and I loved the bread crumbs. Next time I might mix in some sour cream with the milk. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. This is a hearty wonderful dish. I have made a variation of this from an old Pennsylvania shaker recipe with grated cheddar and cooked, crumbled streaky bacon stirred in with a few crumbs of bacon sprinkled over the top. I can see why this would only need a side of pickled beets or red cabbage. A keeper for sure.
     
  3. This was a really interesting way to serve potatoes. My fiance and I both enjoyed it. Thanks!
     
  4. Influenced by Hotpsyche’s modification to the recipe, I used half Parmesan and half cheddar, and I also added 3 cloves of chopped garlic and 1 leek (lightly sautéed). Otherwise, I stuck to the recipe, which was truly delicious. Thank you for sharing this one, MarieAlice!
     
  5. I made Salisbury steak and added this as a side (as per Marilyn Collari's suggestion). Good choice!!! I added minced onion, substituted freshly grated parmesan and doubled the breadcrumbs. I will make this all the time.
