Advice

Making potato pie is a relatively easy and delicious recipe to make. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees, then start by making the crust. For the crust, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Next, add 1/2 cup of cold butter, cut into small cubes, and 1/4 cup of cold shortening. Cut the butter and shortening into the flour until it forms small crumbs. Then, add 4 tablespoons of cold water and mix until it forms a dough. Once the dough is ready, roll it out and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, then bake it for 10-12 minutes until it's lightly golden. For the potato filling, mix together 2 cups of mashed potatoes, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of small diced onion, 1/4 cup of diced celery, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of butter, salt, and pepper. Spread the potato filling over the crust and bake for 30 minutes until it's golden brown. Enjoy your delicious potato pie!
