CHEESE,ONION AND POTATO

Steps:

• Boil the diced onions and potatoes together.
• Once potatoes are soft, drain and mash together with the butter and milk or cream and slowly add 2/3 of the cheese (set aside the other 1/3).
• Add some ground pepper to taste. I also add a pinch of paprika and cayenne pepper.
• Take the mash off the hob and set aside. When slightly cooled add 1 beaten egg to the mix. (This step shouldn't be skipped it really adds to the flavour!).
• When everything has been combined together, place the mixture into a baking dish, and cover with the remaining cheese, add the tomato slices around the dish as you please.
• (You could also top with cooked bacon to make a change when you cook the dish again!).
• Bake at 180 C / Gas 4 in the centre of the oven until the cheese has melted and is starting to turn a nice golden brown around the edges.

CHEESE, ONION, AND POTATO PIES

Steps:

• Make the pastry by the usual method, then halve it, form each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and leave in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes, put them in a saucepan with plenty of cold water, and bring to the boil. Boil gently for 5-10 minutes, or until the cubes are cooked but still retain their shape. Drain and leave to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the green onions, cheese, slightly cooled potato, and parsley. Bind with the creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper. Roll out one of the pastry discs, cut 8 rough circles slightly larger than the indents, and push 4 into the first tray to make the bases. Fill each with an eighth of the mixture and put the remaining 4 circles on as lids. Seal the pie edges with the back of a knife, making a little hole in each one. Repeat for the second tray with the other disc and the remaining half of the filling.
• Cook for 20 minutes, by which time the pastry should be firm, beginning to turn gold, but still pale, and let the pies stand a little out of the oven in their trays before easing them out of the molds.

CHEESE, ONION, LEEK & POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C fan forced (200°C normal)/350°-375°F/4-5 gas mark.

• Place several layers of potato in the base of a well-greased round oven dish and season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; top with half of the sautéed onions, leek and garlic; add several dollops of the cheese mixture (there is no need to spread this out as the cheeses will spread out as the pie starts to cook and the cheeses melt); repeat these steps, ending with the cheese layer.
• Cut a round of pastry to cover and slightly overlap the dish in which the pie is to be cooked.
• Beat together the egg and milk; brush the outside edges of the dish just below the rim with the egg wash and place the pastry round on top of the pie, overhanging the edge of the dish; press down the sides of the pastry onto the sides of the dish and brush the top of the pie and the overlapping edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
