Simple cheese and potato pie

Oh my. Cheese and potato pie for New Years Day!

You know how it is when you open the fridge and try to salvage something out of all those leftovers? Well, here is a little star of a dish that takes about 40 minutes bring to the table. Best of all, it’s great served hot from the oven or chilled from the fridge! Another idea would be to serve it as part of a breakfast.

Once it was made, I left it out in the kitchen for everyone to help themselves. It wasn’t there for very long.
