Potato Peel Pie Recipe

Having just read the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society for my book club, I had to find a way to make a potato peel pie for meeting. After some research, it seems this potato peel pie is as fictional as the characters in the book so I found a recipe online and tweaked it slightly and came up with the following. If possible, it is best to serve hot from the oven. Happy reading and eating!

Ingredients

2 cups raw, grated potato skins (I added some of the white part to keep the texture somewhat tender), use mashed potatoes for filling
1/3 cup grated onion
1 egg, beaten
3 Tbs flour
beetroot
sour cream (optional)
chives (optional)
butter (optional)
garlic (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a small pie plate. Mix grated potato peels with egg, onion and flour. Press the mixture into the pie plate and up the sides to form a crust.
• Bake crust for 20-25 minutes. While the crust is baking, cook potatoes, drain and mash. You can add your favorite mashed potato flavorings here i.e. garlic, onion, milk, butter, salt, etc.
• Fill crust with mashed potatoes and sprinkle with beetroot. Bake in oven at lower temperature of 375 for 10 minutes or until browned.

Where is the Original Potato Peel Pie Recipe?

There is no definitive answer to this question as there are several versions of the original potato peel pie recipe. The most popular version is likely the one that was published in The Boston Cooking School Cookbook in 1896. This recipe calls for boiled, mashed potatoes to be layered between two unbaked pie crusts. The ingredients are then topped with a mixture of butter, sugar, and milk. The dish is baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
