Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7.
  2. Cut two circles, large enough to cover two small ovenproof plates, from the pastry.
  3. Boil the potatoes for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, fry the onions in a little butter until soft, then add the cream and cheese and stir until melted. Drain the potatoes, then stir into the cheese mix.
  4. Divide between the two plates, brush the edges with a little egg, then cover with the pastry circles. Crimp the edges, glaze all over with egg and bake for 15 minutes.

    I used a loose bottom quiche tin instead of a pie plate - just added a little more ingredients for the filling. A huge success and absolutely delicious. This will certainly become a regular in our house - we would thoroughly recommend it!

    I added bacon to one of the pies as myn partner is not vegetarian and feels cheated without meat. A great mid-week meal!

    Tasted great, but I found the potato was still hard and not cooked enough. Next time i shall boil the potato for longer. I also swapped to creme fraiche to be a bit healthier, yummy!

    This was a really nice pie. I altered it a little as didn't have the correct ingredients. I used puff pastry and a different cheese but it tastsed really nice and was a hit with my partner who is a big meat eater. Will make again for sure!!

    This recipe is very tasty and easy to make. Everyone loved it. No problems at all. I made the pastry myself: 200g plain flour or all-purpose flour, 110g butter or lard (one can also use equal proportions of each), and about 4 tablespoons of water. In addition, I boiled the potatoes for 10mins instead of 5mins. I recommend such pie for someone who does not want to eat that heavy. Plus it is also healthy!
