👩‍🍳 James Martin Cheese Onion And Potato Pie Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (or 180°C if using a fan oven, or gas mark 6).
2. In a small bowl, mix grated cheddar cheese with crème fraîche, then set it aside.
3. Grease and lightly flour a pie dish or cake tin that’s about 23cm wide.
4. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry on a floured surface until it’s big enough to line the tin with a bit extra hanging over the edges.
5. Start by placing a layer of potatoes in the tin, then add some sliced onions, spring onions, and cheese. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and paprika.
6. Repeat this process for 2 more layers, using up all the ingredients, and finish with the remaining cheese and crème fraîche mix.
7. Roll out the remaining pastry to cover the top. Brush the edges with beaten egg, then place it over the filling.
8. Press the edges together and trim any excess pastry. Make a decorative edge and brush the top with more beaten egg.
9. Put the pie on a baking sheet, bake for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C (or 160°C for a fan oven, or gas mark 4) and continue baking for 1 hour until it’s golden.
10. Let the pie rest for 10 minutes, then serve it directly from the dish, sliced, with a salad or baked beans on the side.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Use a strong, hard cheese like cheddar for a robust flavor that stands out in the pie.
• Ensure the potatoes are thinly sliced to ensure even cooking and a tender texture.
• Avoid overcooking the onions to maintain their natural sweetness and prevent them from becoming mushy.
• Be cautious with the amount of nutmeg and paprika, as they can easily overpower the other flavors.
• Roll out the pastry to a consistent thickness for even baking and a balanced crust-to-filling ratio.
