Irish Potato Pie is a comforting layered bake of thinly sliced potatoes, onions, butter, and cream, finished with a golden top and tender interior.
2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream or whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or parsley (optional)
Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a baking dish.
Layer sliced potatoes and onions, seasoning and dotting with butter between layers.
Pour cream and stock evenly over the layers.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes until golden and tender.
Rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Slice potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
Add cheese if desired during the final stage of baking.
Reheat leftovers in the oven for best texture.
