Can I make this Traditional Irish Potato Pie ahead of time?

Yes! Bake it, cool it, and store it in the fridge. Reheat at 325°F until warmed through (about 15–20 minutes). The crust stays best if you reheat in the oven instead of the microwave.

Can I use half-and-half instead of heavy cream?

Absolutely. It’ll still be creamy, just slightly lighter. If you want it extra rich, stick with heavy cream.

How do I store leftovers?

Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days . Reheat slices in the oven or air fryer for the flakiest crust.

You didn’t hear it from a strict traditionalist, but yes. A little shredded cheddar or Gruyère is ridiculously good here.

For the Crust

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

For the Filling

6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
3 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 or 9-inch tart pan with the thawed puff pastry and crimp the edges. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Cook the bacon
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and cook the chopped bacon until crispy and golden, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels.
Sauté the vegetables
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the sliced potatoes and fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring gently.
Assemble the pie
Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the crispy bacon over the top. Pour the heavy cream evenly over the filling.
Bake
Place the pie on the lower rack of the oven and bake for 35–45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Rest and garnish
Allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped chives or scallions and serve warm.

Notes

For perfectly even potato slices, use a mandolin slicer.

Half-and-half can replace heavy cream for a lighter version.

Add shredded cheddar or Gruyère cheese for an extra rich flavor.

Letting the pie rest before cutting helps the filling set for clean slices.
