Description
Delicious cheesy potato and onion filled puff pastry pies that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 400 g Potatoes (Peeled and cut into small cubes)
- 30 g Salted butter
- 2 Large onions (Peeled and finely chopped)
- 125 g Strong cheddar (Grated)
- 375 g Puff pastry
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water for 15-20 minutes until soft.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small frying pan and gently fry the onions for 5-10 minutes until soft and transparent. Try not to let them get too much brown colour.
- Preheat the oven to 200℃ fan/220℃/Gas Mark 7/400F fan.
- When the potatoes are cooked, drain them and add the onions (and any butter left in the bottom of the pan), along with the cheese and plenty of salt and pepper. Mash well and allow to cool.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut into 8 rectangles.
- Share the potato mixture across 4 of them. Brush around the edges with beaten egg and sit the other 4 ‘lids’ on top.
- Seal the edges using a fork and brush the top with the remaining egg.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper/parchment (or use the sheet that the puff pastry came on).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until very golden.
Notes
- Make sure to allow the filling to cool before sealing the pastry to prevent steam from making the pastry soggy.
- For a golden finish, brush the tops with egg wash before baking.
