Mom's Two-Crust Potato Pie Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Vegetarian Recipes. (Mom's Two-Crust Potato Pie Recipe). 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!
