This is my famous chicken and potato pie, which I’ve made countless times. It’s my family’s favourite dish and if I had to choose a last meal this would probably be it. The trick is to make sure the potato is very well seasoned, otherwise it can be bland. It’s a rustic dish, to be placed in the centre of the table so that everyone can help themselves. I once cooked 36 of these pies for a friend’s wedding, one on each table.
