If you like potatoes, you'll love this Canadian recipe!
It gets hearty in the kitchen with chicken and onions.
The
rappie pie
is a traditional Canadian dish, more specifically it comes from the province of Nova Scotia in eastern Canada.
The name derives from the French "patates râpées", which simply means "
grated potatoes
", as that is also the main ingredient.
This is exactly the right recipe for all potato fans!
But meat connoisseurs are also in the right place here: other ingredients are chicken breast and broth.
So it's going to be hearty!
Left over mashed potatoes?
You can conjure up this treat from the leftovers.
