Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.

In a large pot, cook the chicken with water, salt, and bay leaves until tender, about 30-40 minutes.

Remove the chicken, reserving the broth, and let it cool before shredding.

In the same pot, sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and celery in butter until soft, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine the grated potatoes with the shredded chicken and sautéed vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Add flour, milk, salt, pepper, thyme, and nutmeg to the mixture, stirring until well combined.

Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and set.

Let the pie cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Serve warm, garnished with parsley.
