Authentic Rappie Pie Recipe - A Canadian Classic

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 cups shredded potatoes (peeled and grated)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup milk (or cream)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)
  • 1 cup grated cheese (for topping (optional))

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grate the peeled potatoes using a box grater or food processor.

    Make sure to soak the grated potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  2. Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, cook the chicken with enough water to cover it until it's tender. Remove and shred the chicken.

    You can use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
  3. Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded chicken, chicken broth, chopped onion, melted butter, salt, pepper, and thyme.

    Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  4. Layer in Baking Dish

    Spread half of the potato mixture in a greased baking dish. Add a layer of cheese if using, then top with the remaining potato mixture.

    Use a spatula to smooth the top layer for even cooking.
  5. Bake

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.

    Let it cool for a few minutes before serving for easier slicing.
