Irish Potato Pie

Getting ready for a big Saint Patrick’s Day celebration?

St. Paddy’s Day is the best! You don’t have to be Irish to celebrate. Heck, you don’t even have to like beer or the color green. Although it helps.

A sensational scalloped Irish Potato Pie with bacon and onions. Just the things to get your Irish eyes a’smiling!

Potato Pie for Saint Patrick’s Day

Saint Patrick’s Day was simply meant to be a day of feasting. Feasting to commemorate Saint Patrick and the culture of Ireland.

I can help you there…

Over the last few years I’ve published several Saint Paddy’s Day recipes that are fun to put together into one glorious Irish feast.

• Irish Boxtys
• Chocolate Guinness Floats
• Dubliner Cheese Fondue
• Bangers and Mash
• Irish Apple Beer Bread
• And Baileys Irish Cream Brownies

Layers of Irish Potatoes

And today we’re continuing the tradition with an Irish Potato Pie.

The simple potato pie is filled with creamy scalloped potatoes, bacon, onions, and herbs.

It’s tender and rich with a crisp buttery crust.

The layers of potatoes bake with a drizzle of heavy cream, so they soften into decadent folds of silky goodness.

Irish Potato Pie makes an irresistible St. Paddy’s Day side dish or appetizer.

It’s also a fantastic make-ahead to warm up on March 17th, just in case you think you’ll be “seeing leprechauns” by dinner time.

Sláinte!

Recipe Ingredients Checklist

• Frozen Puff Pastry – thawed
• Butter
• Thick Cut Bacon – cut into pieces
• Peel and Sliced Potatoes – starchy or waxy potatoes
• Onion – chopped
• Fresh Dill – the more the merrier
• Heavy Cream – to create a silky texture inside and brown the top
• Salt and Pepper
• Chive or Scallion for garnish

How to Make These Irish Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the thawed puff pastry in an 8 or 9-inch tart pan and crimp the edges down. Remove the excess dough to help fill in gaps to make the rim all even. Place the crust in the fridge until you are ready to fill it. 
2. Put a skillet on the stovetop, over medium-high heat, and add in the butter and bacon. 
3. Saute until the bacon is crispy, then add in the onions, potatoes, and dill. Season the mixture with plenty of salt and pepper.
4. Gently stir the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes to mix the onions and potatoes and make sure that they are coated in the bacon grease. (The potatoes do not need to be cooked through.)
5. Spoon the mixture into the crust and drizzle it with the heavy cream. 
6. Bake on the low rack of the oven for about 35 to 45 minutes. The potatoes should be fork-tender and the crust should be golden. 
7. Rest for 10 minutes then sprinkle with chopped chive and serve.
