Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2 sheet of puff pastry ((ready rolled))
  • 1 tsp chopped parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • 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.
