About the dish

Fatherless pie is a traditional pie originating from the Isle of Man. The pie is made with shortcrust pastry, milk, water, butter, potatoes, and seasoning. The potatoes are cut into thin pieces, then assembled on the shortcrust pastry with butter, salt, and pepper. Once assembled, the milk and water are poured over the filling, and the whole thing is topped with a pie crust before being baked in the oven. This simple pie is traditionally eaten with boiled fish on Good Friday.
