History

Whilst the dish may have its origins in French cuisine (Tarte a L'Oignon), this was a food traditionally popular with the working classes of Northern England, due to a combination of relatively cheap ingredients which provided sustenance to workers, particularly in the mining, steel, and manufacturing industries. Today there are artisan versions of the dish available,[3] however potato is often used to bulk out cheaper mass-produced pies.
