  • Use a variety of vegetables in your filling. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the potpie.
  • Don't overfill the potpies. Leave some room at the top for the filling to expand.
  • Bake the potpies until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the potpies cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help prevent the filling from spilling out.
