Potato, Cheese and Onion Pasties

Step 1

In a large frying pan add a drizzle of oil over medium heat and add potato. Fry until nice and crispy, then melt in your butter then add in onion. Fry off for a minute or so just until soft. The longer you fry it the less powerful the onion flavour will be. For a stronger onion flavour keep the frying quick.

Step 2

Pop everything in a bowl and allow to cool. To the bowl add cheese, mustard, parsley, cream/milk and a pinch of salt & pepper (to taste). Give it a good stir and leave to one side.

Step 3

Slice the pastry into 4 equal rectangles. Split your filling into 4 and place to one side of each rectangle. Brush around the edges with egg wash then fold over and push down with your fingers to secure. Using a fork, press down around the outside of each pasty. Place on a lightly sprayed oven tray and slice some steam holes in each pasty (see video for guidance).

Step 4

Give the pasties a final brush of egg wash and place in the oven at 200C/390F for 15-20mins or until golden brown. Timings will vary so just be vigilant, puff pastry can go from golden to burnt fairly quickly!
