About the dish

Pâté aux pommes de terre is a savory potato pie originating from the French region of Limousin. It consists of sliced potatoes that are layered with onions, cream, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a flaky puff pastry. Before the 18th century, when potatoes were first brought to France, Limousin pie was made with a combination of crème fraîche and regular bread dough. It can be served either as a main course or as a side dish, and it is usually consumed while still hot. Traditionally, the pie is served with lettuce on the side, and it is recommended to pair it with a glass of cider or red wine.
