How to Make Potato Pie

  1. Peel and chop 2 lbs of potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Boil in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Drain the potatoes thoroughly. Return them to the pot and mash with 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Grease a 1 1/2 to 2-pint pie dish with butter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup breadcrumbs evenly across the bottom and sides, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared pie dish. Roughen the top with a fork.
  6. Brush the top with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  7. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
  8. Serve immediately with pickled beets or red cabbage and thick slices of crusty brown bread. Enjoy!
