Very time consuming. Guests just loved it. I would cut back on the amt of butter used. Baked in a spring form pan. The finished product looked beautiful.

I made this for Easter brunch and added orange and green peppers and sausage- I made it a week ahead of time and froze it- pulled it out of the freezer the night before and baked it in the morning- rave reviews from my entire family! Wonderful flavor and great presentation on the plates!

This was well receiving at a potluck I attended. I used pastry shells from the store and next time I hope to have more time to make my own no fail pastry. Thank you for the recipe.

DELICIOUS!! I only used one pastry sheet, just roll it really thin and you can use it for both the bottom crust and the top crust. Makes it thinner, less crust, more room for goodies! I cooked my potatoes as directed but also added some fresh thyme. I did half cheddar and half mozzarella, which gave it a creamier, smoother taste and texture. I used two whole eggs, and the rest just egg whites, to cut down a bit on the fat. The last change I made was to do half of the pie with ham and the other half with crab. My husband LOVED the ham half, and I can not stop eating the crab half!! Wonderful! Will make again and add mushrooms!

This was great, even when I took out the dairy and used vegan cheese and earth balance sticks! I also added broccoli with the potato mixture and it was great (although I used less potatos than the recipe called for. I also cooked the potato mixture in a dutch oven on the stovetop because there was no way my skillet could handle the volume!

This was SO good! I used turkey sausage instead of the bacon. I didn't do the egg baste on top because I forgot. I used an 8 inch pie pan and ran out of room so left out one of the layers of potatoes and used it as an additional side. Otherwise followed exactly and it was awesome!

Delicious! The second time I made it though I used the pillsbury refrigerator dough so I wouldn't have to wait for the puff pastry to thaw. I thought it was better than the first one I made.

An excellent recipe. The fairly long preperation time is well worth the effort. As with many recipes it is a good idea to familiarise oneself with the general procedure before making a start. Cheddar was not available so I used Ementaler instead and added a few capers to give a little extra zest. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the quantities given were just right to fill the 10" spring form pan which I had decided to use. If you do use a spring form you will, as has been mentioned before, need to use slightly more pastry for the base which can be substracted from the amount required for the top. As many others have done I prepared everything the evening before and simply baked for lunch the next day. No stress, no mess. The resulting pie was truly impressive and tasted every bit as good as it looked !
