Throwback Thursday, Creamy Chive Potato Pie
I’m wrapping up March with this Creamy Chive Potato Pie
This pie is not only full of creamy potatoes and chives,
it is baked in a puff pastry crust
which gives it a crispy texture
that compliments the soft potatoes
and adds another layer of flavor
Start by slicing potatoes, about 1/8″ thick,
Boil for 6-10 minutes to soften
If you put a wooden spoon across a sauce pan
it helps to prevent it from boiling over
Unfold puff pastry and place in a deep pie or quiche dish
Trim excess and gently stretch dough to fit into pan to form crust
Spread with a thin layer of Greek yogurt {or sour cream}
and sprinkle with green onions
Add a layer of potato slices and spread a little yogurt on the slices
Drizzle with heavy cream and season well
Sprinkle with green onions and repeat layers,
drizzling each layer with cream
Bake covered for the first 30 minutes,
then uncover and add some slices of butter on top of potatoes
to help them brown
and add some more cream if dish seems dry
Return to oven and bake another 30 minutes uncovered
or until golden and set
You can also add cooked bacon pieces to this pie if desired
This recipe is adapted from A Spicy Perspective
