Rappie pie is a traditional Acadian dish from southwest Nova Scotia,[1] New Brunswick and areas of Prince Edward Island. It is sometimes referred to as rapure pie, râpée, or râpure.[2][3] Its name is derived from the French patates râpées meaning 'grated potatoes'.[4] It is a casserole-like dish formed by grating potatoes, then squeezing them through cheesecloth to remove some of the water from the potato solids. The removed liquid is replaced by adding hot broth made from chicken, pork or seafood along with meat and onions, and layering additional grated potatoes over the top.[5][6] Common meat fillings include beef, chicken, or bar clams.
