White Potato Pie?

10/13/2014

So my 16 year old daughter was knocking around in the kitchen and I inquired what she was making. She said "a potato pie".

Thinking its the perfect day for a sweet potato pie, I told her so. She quickly let me know that it was a white potato pie.

So not as excited as I started out, I waited. She even made one especially for me without the crust/gluten.

It was good! Not as good as our usual sweet potato pie, but come on....it's still pie.

The recipe book she used is a 30 year old Southern Living cookbook. It stated:

Lowly ingredients never deterred the Southern cook from having a pie when the family clamored for one. Pies utilizing beans or Irish potatoes sometimes have "Poor Man's...." in the title....


Poor man or not, it works!
