Potato, Cheese and Onion Pasty
Report
Potato, Cheese and Onion Pasty made with puff pastry, beautifully golden and flaky, with a delicious vegetarian filling. Great as a snack, or even as a light meal with a nice salad on the side.

Instructions
- Peel and chop the potatoes and boil in salted water for 15 minutes or until tender.
- Drain the water and allow them to cool.
- Lightly mash the potatoes, it does not have to be a smooth mash, a lumpy one would do.
- Leave the mash to cool completely.
- Peel and cut the onion roughly.
- In a pan, heat up the oil and butter, then fry the onions on a low to medium heat until golden.
- Mix the fried onions with the potatoes and cheese, and season to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- Cut each puff pastry into 6 rectangles, place a tablespoon of the potato mixture on one half, brush the edges with a bit of water, then fold the other half over and seal.
- Use a fork to press the edges well, then poke each pasty in a few places using a fork to allow the steam to escape during baking.
- Beat the egg well, then brush each pasty.
- Arrange them onto 2 baking trays, and bake for 20 minutes until golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Serve them either warm or cold.
Notes
- Make sure the potato mash is cool before adding the cheese and onions to it. If the filling is warm, the puff pastry will melt and make a proper mess.
- I highly recommend brushing the pasties with egg before baking, as that gives them a nice shine. Do not forget to poke the pasties in a few places before baking to allow the steam to escape.
