Mom's Two-Crust Potato Pie

Recipesfull introduces to you: Vegetarian Recipes. (Mom's Two-Crust Potato Pie). I grew up in a Catholic family, when Catholics could not eat meat on Fridays. Fish and a side dish were Friday meals. One particularly favorite side-dish was this recipe. Hearty, filling and delicious! Cubed ham and finely chopped onions can be added to the potato and cheese mixture if you want more of a one-dish meal. Use American, muenster, havarti, or brie cheese. Happy cooking!

Fit a crust into a 9-inch pie dish and fill with the potato mixture. Place the top crust on the pie roll the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal. Stir the melted butter and 2 teaspoons of milk together in a small bowl and brush the mixture all over the pie crust. Cut several vent holes in the top of the crust.
