Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with a pinch of salt and let them sit for about 15 minutes to release excess moisture.
In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the diced onions until they turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Mixing and Baking

In the same bowl as the potatoes, add the shredded chicken, sautéed onions, chicken broth, milk, and the remaining melted butter. Stir until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and other herbs, if using.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Serving

Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors!

Notes

For quicker prep, use a food processor to grate the potatoes. If making for a crowd, consider making two pies, one for now and one for later; it freezes beautifully.
