If you aren’t familiar with potato pie it’s essentially mashed potatoes that are baked in the oven with cheese and a crunchy breadcrumb crust! Some folks like to add salami or prosciutto, but we like it simple, with just cheese.
This can act as our mashed potatoes for holidays like Thanksgiving. We highly encourage you to weigh out all ingredients because we did mostly chop and/or finely grate the cheese so the units of measurement by cup won’t be accurate.
Lastly, let this dish rest. It will be so tempting to cut into it and take a bite but it needs to form into a cake. It should be served warm but not fresh out of the oven. It can also be easily reheated (cover with foil). This is a great dish to make ahead or heat up early in the day.
If you’re feeding a large crowd double this recipe and bake it in a larger dish, a 13x9 baking dish will work.
