  Just popped my pie into the oven now!!! Really easy to make, and i boiled the potatoes for a couple of minutes first as others have recommended, i also used philadelphia instead of creme fraiche as that's what i happened to have in the fridge!! Made my own pastry too, so it was quite time consuming, but i think it makes all the difference!!! I have my own bar in Spain, and i'm going to introduce our spanish chef to a bit of good old british cuisine!! I'm sure he's going to love it!!! I'll let you know the verdict!!!

  Didnt have any creme fraiche in the shop so I used 100g double cream & 100g herby cream cheese instead & it worked fine..also I didnt par-boil my potatoes as I thought Id sliced them thinly enough (obviously not!) & it ended up taking an extra half an hr (2hrs in total) It was gorgeous tho, & went down a storm with everyone at the dinner table (even my super-fussy 11yr old!)

  Really nice pie, it was great fun to make though it took me closer to two and a half hours to make. I boiled the potatoes first as well like some of the other users suggested and I think it's a good thing I did as they were just right with still plenty of bite to them. I didn't want it to be too oniony so I only used spring onions and it was fab. The cheese I used was half cheddar, half gruyere. Would definitely make again, maybe with leek and bacon next time!

  Agree with other reviewers about the slightly undercooked potatoes, but still deeply delicious oinion and cheese flavours, like a posh cheese and onion pasty! I served this with shredded cabbage.

  Doing my usual stunt of not reading the recipe properly, I grated all the cheese and mixed it with the "creme fraiche" - i.e., some cottage cheese and yoghurt as I needed to use both up - in one go. But it still worked brilliantly. I might sprinkle some raw garlic slivers in it next tmie. For people having trouble with the potatoes not cooking, invest in a mandoline. It's quicker than using a knife and you can make the slices a uniform thickness, down to literally transparently thin. I found one in a charity shop a few years ago and it's one of my favourite ktichen gadgets now.

  We really enjoyed this pie, I only had a smaller pie dish so I reduced the quantities and it worked v well. Next time I will add extra cheese. I also parboiled the potato slices for 2 mins.

  Have just made this but cheated a bit - cut the potatoes into small dice and par-boil to soften, also sweated the onions for five mins. When the potatoes and onions are cold, just mix everything together in a large bowl and then pile it into the pastry. Much quicker and easier and still tastes great!

  I wish I had followed the suggestions from previous raters. I had plenty of time so thought it would be cooked through as I left it an extra 30 mins in the oven but the potatoes were still not cooked - very disappointing - will try again but have to pre- boil first.

  I have a few recommendations for this recipe - the first being "never make this for a husband who hates potato, even though he cheerily announces "I love Cheese & Potato Pie!", it just won't work". The second being "if you're stuck for time, make something else" and the last being "let the pie rest until the moisture from the creme fraiche has disappeared".

  Great pie...real comfort food. I probably used a slightly smaller pie dish than was suggested, I didn't measure it, it was just a regular old pyrex pie plate. I just couldn't stuff all the ingredients into it, so had some potato and onion left over. But, hey ho, they were great fried for brunch next day with a couple of eggs!

  i cooked this for dinner today and cant believe how good it tasted- was seriously yummy and i will defo make again. i followed the advice of others and sweated the onions and par-boiled the potatoes first. I was scared to use the crme fraiche lol as i have never cooked with it before and was unsure of how it would taste so i only did one layer of the cremefraiche mix in the centre of the pie, however it did taste nice. I served this with beans and salad for me and 2 kids and there was still helf left over so thats lunch sorted tomorrow! loved it totally, brilliant recipe!

  Made this yesterday. Using the ingredients above there was enough to make two 18 cm pies. Which is good because we had one for tea and I froze one for later. I did part boil the potatoes even though I cut them very thinly and I also softened the onions, therefore I knew that everything would be just right when it came to serving it. We all really enjoyed it, served with mushy peas in the style of pie and pea supper.
