- Drizzle olive oil over the top, then season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Carefully fold the edges of the pie crust over the potatoes and cheese, pleating as necessary to create a rustic look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.

Tips
- For added flavor, consider including caramelized onions or sautéed garlic with the potatoes.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as goat cheese or Gruyère, for a unique flavor profile.
- If homemade, ensure your pie crust is cold before baking to achieve the perfect flaky texture.
