My sister asked me to find my mom's recipe for "pot pie", but it's not pot pie in the traditional sense. It's an old Pennsylvania Dutch recipe. My grandma and great grandma were born and raised in rural PA.
The recipe is basically a potato soup with flat, square dumplings.
The thing is .. every other recipe for Pennsylvania Dutch Pot Pie that I've seen online have been made with chicken and chicken broth, and usually celery, carrots etc.
This is literally potatoes, water, onion, flour (mom used Jiffy mix or Bisquick, whereas I'm sure the grandmas used flour, egg, etc).... I can imagine 125 years ago, a woman in the kitchen, needing to make dinner for her 10 kids, with only a sack of potatoes, an onion, and some flour, and doing what she had to do to get them fed!
My sister laughed at the recipe card ("How much milk? Cook for how long??") Me: "some" milk! Cook until "done"!😂
Anyways, that's the old recipe I wanted to share!
Seems like a pretty legit depression-era way to feed a family with practically nothing.
