Cheese and Potato Pies

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 25 mins | Total: 55 mins | Quantity: 6 pies

Ingredients

  • 1 small potato
  • 1 small white onion
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 cup (70g) grated vegan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons vegan cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • pinch each salt and pepper
  • 1 sheet ready rolled puff pastry
  • 1 tablespoon plant milk
  • pinch of turmeric

Instructions

  1. Peel the potato and onion and cut both into smallish dice
  2. Melt the butter and oil in a frying pan and saute the potato and onion for a few minutes over a medium heat until just starting to soften and caramelise
  3. Take off the heat and stir in the herbs, cheese, salt and pepper and cream and allow it to cool for a few minutes
  4. Mix the milk with the turmeric in a small bowl
  5. Preheat your oven to 180 Fan / 200 C / 400 F / Gas 6 and line 1-2 baking trays with parchment or silicon mats
  6. Unroll the puff pastry sheet - I find lifting the pastry off the paper and dusting the paper with a little flour before returning the pastry really helps prevent the pastry sticking as it warms up while you're making the pies
  7. Cut the pastry into 6 equal size squares
  8. Brush the milk mixture round the edges of each of the squares then place a spoonful of the mixture on one half of the pastry
  9. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a rectangle or triangle shape (the choice is yours) and press the edges lightly together
  10. Use a fork to seal the edges of the pastry then place onto the prepared tray(s)
  11. Brush the remaining milk over the top of the pies then bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed, golden and crispy
  12. Store any leftovers in the fridge or freezer
