I’m trying to find a recipe for Butter Pie which I think originates from Lancashire. I think I’ve eaten one once but it was described as a Potato and Butter Pie in the deli.
It was nice but when I mention it to anyone I get blank stares and comments like ‘urgh, that sound disgusting’ or ‘never heard of it.’
Can anyone help, this has been bugging me for ages – years in fact
Beat me to the punch! 
Haaaaaaaaaaaands across the water…..
I’ve never heard of it but I found a recipe on this webpage. I also copied and pasted the recipe here for you. Not sure if this is what you wanted but maybe it will work!!

COMMENTS: This was a recipe my grandmother and mom would make it. It doesn’t take very long to prepare and it is very good!
I will be curious if either of these comes close to what you are remembering?? 
Skitterbug, cheers 
but alas the pie I ate was very much a savoury little number, with potatoes forming a large part. I think its origins have something to do with folks not eating meat on fridays or something.
My search continues …

A pie with potatoes in it……….now that sounds like an interesting pie. It would be more like a “meal” type rather then a “dessert”. 
Okay, the hunt is on!! Do you remember any more of the ingredients, by chance?

Why not place an order to be picked up ??? Beats getting there at 5AM !!
Meanwhile, I’ll keep an eye open for a recipe. It is strange that something seemingly so simple and common is nowhere to be found.
