Potato Pie

This is one of those dishes that I love to eat but I don’t make nearly as often as I should. When I go to the market I find myself buying cassava and dasheen more than any other provision. However I recently got some potatoes and decided it was long overdue for me to do this recipe.

This pie isn’t drowned in multiple cheeses and a ton of different seasonings to achieve great flavor. Just a few select spices and herbs is all you need to make this simple but amazing great side dish to add to your Sunday lunch line-up!

• 4 tbsp sprigs rosemary finely chopped
• 8 tbsp sprigs thyme finely chopped
• 2 tsp whole geera
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg grated
• 4 cups milk
• 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
• 5 tbsp butter
• salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

• Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil then add a pinch of salt. Add potatoes to boiling water and allow to cook for 15 minutes or until fork tender
• Add 4 tablespoons of butter to a pan then add geera and garlic to the butter.
• Allow the butter to melt then immediately turn off heat.
• Add fresh herbs and nutmeg to the butter then set aside
• Once potatoes are cooked, drain then add garlic, spice & herb mixture to potatoes.
• Season with salt and black pepper, add milk and one cup of grated cheese then mash until desired consistency is reached. My preference is a creamy consistency with a bit of potato chunks still present in the mixture.
• Grease a baking tray with additional butter then transfer potato mixture.
• Top with remaining grated cheese then bake in a preheated oven on the middle rack at 350 degrees for 25 t0 30 minutes or until top is golden brown.
