Potato Pies

December has been a very busy month for me, with some vacation overseas and preparation for Xmas parties. Finally I can find some time to sit down to do my blog writing. So you will see quite a few recipes coming up.

I decided to make this Potato Pies after my colleague, Elaine gave me the mini aluminium fillers. I made these for a gathering at my house and everyone liked the pies. It was indeed a nice bit-sized and yummy Potato Pie.
