French traditional potato pie

A gigantic folk ball takes place every year in the center of France next to Moulins. I love folk dancing and attend regularly this event since many years. I went so many time that I cannot remember how many. Two thousand persons are exclusively coming to dance during 10 days. This is a huge organisation. You camp and can either cook yourself or buy meals directly onsite. One of the main dishes served on this festival is this delicious potatoes pie. Mainly baked in this region, they serve it associated with a slice of cured ham for example or one egg if you are vegetarian.

    This looks wonderful and will, I think, be perfect made with Albert Bartlett’s potatoes (probably UK only). I’ve recently converted to them as, recommended by the only ‘celebrity chef’ I have any time for, Michel Roux Jnr, I find them worth the higher price.
