Ingredients
  

  • 320 g Puff Pastry Sheet
  • 2 medium Potatoes Peeled and diced
  • 1 large Onion Chopped
  • 100 g Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 Egg Beaten
  • Salt To taste
  • Black Pepper To taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
  • In a saucepan, add water and bring the diced potatoes to a boil. Cook until they are soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and let them cool.
  • In a bowl, mix the cooled potatoes with the chopped onion and grated cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 4 rectangles.
  • Spoon the cheese and potato mixture onto one half of each rectangle, leaving a border around the edge.
  • Brush the edges with beaten egg and fold the other half of the pastry over the filling. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.
  • Place the pasties onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the pasties with the remaining beaten egg.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the pasties are golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

You can add more grated cheese if you prefer a cheesier pasty.
You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as diced ham, mushrooms or peas.
These pasties can be served hot or cold, making them perfect for a picnic or lunchbox.
If you have any leftover pasties, you can reheat them in the oven at 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 for 10-15 minutes.
Be sure to cool the onion and potato mixture before adding it to the pastry to prevent the pastry from getting soggy.
You can also freeze the pasties before baking. Just place the pasties on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a zip-lock bag and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, simply place the frozen pasties on a baking tray and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
