As a vegetarian teenager, this was my favourite alternative Christmas dish. Very filling, rich and savoury. I think everyone else rather resented the turkey and wanted the pie instead!

Ingredients
Switch to Cup Measures- 0.5 kilograms Maris Piper potatoes Sliced thinly
- 200 grams Cheddar cheese Extra mature cubed
- 1 large onion Chopped
- 1 dash double cream (large dash)
- 1 packet puff pastry
- 1 butter for greasing
- 1 grinding black pepper
- 1 pinch of salt
Method
- First, peel and then par-boil the potatoes. Drain them and leave to the side.
- Roll out the pastry and ideally using a Springform Pan cut out a circle of pastry for the top of the pie.
- Next, butter the pan. Use the rest of the pastry to line the pan.
- Next add a layer of potato, then a layer of cheese and onion, seasoned with pepper. Repeat until pie is full. Now add the cream to the top of the mixture.
- Put the cut out lid on top of the pie, creating a small whole in the centre for any steam to escape. Use any remaining pastry to decorate the pie. Leaves look good or even spell out Merry Christmas!
- Bake at 200-degrees for 40 minutes or until golden. Enjoy.
