What does this mean?

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

  1. First, peel and then par-boil the potatoes. Drain them and leave to the side.
  2. Roll out the pastry and ideally using a Springform Pan cut out a circle of pastry for the top of the pie.
  3. Next, butter the pan. Use the rest of the pastry to line the pan.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. Bake at 200-degrees for 40 minutes or until golden. Enjoy.
