2) Peel and quarter potatoes. In batches, place potatoes in food processor .
Process until finely grated.
3) In a medium bowl, combine potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix.
4) Spoon into pie pan and press potatoes over bottom and sides of the pan to form a shell.

You need to have potatoes finely grated or they will not be completely tender when the pie is done. Potatoes can be grated with a hand grater but you will find it is so much easier in a food processor.
