Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
  2. Put the diced potatoes into a saucepan with water, bring to a boil and cook until they soften, usually taking about 10 minutes.
  3. As the potatoes are boiling, melt the butter on low heat completely then add the onions with the salt and cook on low heat for 5 minutes until caramelised
  4. Drain the potatoes then mash before adding into the onions, along with the rest of the ingredients
  5. Mix everything together and then set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes
  6. Take the puff pastry sheet and unroll it. Proceed to cut it into 4 rectangles.
  7. On one half of each rectangle, spoon the cheese and potato mixture, making sure to leave some space around the edges.
  8. Brush the edges with some beaten egg, then fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, ensuring that the edges are sealed by pressing them together with a fork.
  9. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the pasties on it.
  10. Brush the pasties with the remaining beaten egg.
  11. Put the pasties into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy.
  12. Once they're ready, take the pasties out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Nutritional facts:
  • The provision of nutritional information is done so merely as a courtesy and should not be taken as a guarantee.
  • If you want a cheesier pasty, you can add more grated cheese.
  • You can also experiment with the filling by adding other ingredients such as diced ham, mushrooms, or peas.
  • These pasties can be served either hot or cold, making them an excellent option for picnics or lunchboxes.
  • If you have leftover pasties, you can reheat them in the oven at 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 for 10-15 minutes.
  • To prevent the pastry from becoming soggy, make sure to cool the onion and potato mixture before adding it to the pastry.
  • You can also freeze the pasties before baking them. Just place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, freeze them until they become solid, then transfer them to a zip-lock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you're ready to bake, put the frozen pasties on a baking tray and bake them for an additional 5-10 minutes
