  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Stir together potato, whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, hard-cooked eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, press one of the pie crusts into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. I like to use a glass pie plate to check the bottom crust for doneness.
  • Pour hot potato-corn mixture into crust. Dot with pieces of butter. Cover with top crust; flute the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in top crust to vent steam. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until crust is browned, about 10 minutes more. Serve hot.
