Notes: This is you Nana's old tortiere recipe that we grew up with when we celebrated the "Reveilion" each Christmas Eve. She worked long and hard to prepare these! I have followed the tradition every year since I was 20 years old. Should you decide to do the same you will be baking pies from a recipe that is nearly 100 years old, as it was Papa's mother that Nana got the recipe from! Enjoy :)
The only thing I did differently is that I cooked and mashed the potatoes before adding them to the mixture. Otherwise I found they stayed somewhat uncooked.
