Irish Potato Pie is a comforting savory dish featuring thinly sliced potatoes and onions sautéed with crispy bacon in butter, layered in a flaky puff pastry crust, and baked until golden and tender. Enhanced with fresh dill and finished with a creamy drizzle, this rustic pie is perfect for a hearty meal or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

Filling

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 7 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 5 medium potatoes (or 4 large), peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 onion, peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half & half)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Chives or scallions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the thawed puff pastry sheet into an 8- or 9-inch tart pan, pressing it to fit and crimping the edges evenly. Trim any excess dough and patch the rim as needed to ensure an even border. Refrigerate the crust until you are ready to add the filling.
  2. Sauté filling ingredients: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and add the chopped bacon. Cook until the bacon is crispy. Add the sliced onions, followed by the thinly sliced potatoes and fresh dill. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Gently stir the mixture for 3-5 minutes to combine the flavors and coat the vegetables in the bacon grease. The potatoes do not need to be fully cooked through at this stage.
  3. Assemble and bake: Spoon the sautéed potato and onion mixture evenly into the prepared puff pastry crust. Drizzle the heavy cream evenly over the filling. Place the tart pan on the lower oven rack and bake for 35-45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the pastry crust is golden and crisp.
  4. Rest and serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the filling to set. Sprinkle chopped chives or scallions on top for a fresh garnish. Cut into slices and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bacon for a more substantial texture and flavor.
  • Thinly slicing the potatoes ensures even cooking and a tender filling.
  • Heavy cream can be substituted with half & half for a lighter option.
  • Chilling the crust before filling helps maintain a flaky texture during baking.
  • Serve with a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal.
