Steps to Make the Pie
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Press thawed puff pastry into an 8 or 9-inch tart pan and chill in the refrigerator.
  2. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in onions and cook until softened, then add potatoes and dill.
  3. Remove the chilled crust and fill with the creamy mixture. Drizzle heavy cream over the top.
  4. Bake on a low rack for 35-45 minutes until golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  5. Let cool for about 10 minutes, garnish with chives or scallions, slice, and serve.
