Potato Pie

Intro

Nobody asked for this, but everyone wants it. Goes great with some gravy.

Directions

1. Peel 3-4 potatoes and rinse them. Grate them, then squeeze out as much of the water as you can.
2. Preheat your oven to 450, then add the potatoes to a pan with oil. Cook until the grated potatoes have dried up a bit.
3. Place them into a pie pan and allow to cool until you can handle with your hands. Shape the grated potatoes into a pie crust by pushing them down against the pie tin.
4. Place in the oven and roast until crispy and golden-brown, approx 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it.
5. In the meantime, peel 3 more potatoes and chop into chunks. Place in water and boil for 15-20 minutes, until soft.
6. Using softened butter and milk, make a mash, adding garlic if desired. Season with salt and pepper, using a little extra salt to compensate for the other unsalted parts. Set aside.
7. Peel 2 more potatoes and slice using a mandolin. Toss with olive oil.
8. Assemble the pie. Once the crust is crispy, add in the mashed potato, tamping down gently and evening out the surface.
9. Carefully layer the potato slices in a lattice, like scales, atop.
10. Roast until top layer look brown and crispy, approx 30-40 minutes.
11. Let cool and enjoy.
