Tips:

To achieve the smoothest texture, use russet potatoes. They're known for their high starch content, which helps create a creamy filling.
Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be fork-tender but still hold their shape.
For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese for extra creaminess.
Be generous with the seasonings. The pie filling should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices to your taste.
Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

White potato pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give white potato pie a try.
