Tourtière

1 lb. lean ground pork
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
1 large raw potato, grated (approx. 1 c.)
1 tsp. allspice
Pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Put ground pork and onion in skillet; stir over medium heat until meat turns "gray", is no longer "pink". Stir in salt, pepper, allspice and grated potato; pour into 9 inch pie crust. Adjust top crust; brush top with milk. Bake in 375° oven for 45-50 minutes, until brown.

This is my mother's recipe. She got it from her mother, who was born in Yamachiche, Québec.
