Great savoury buffet recipe for guests to help themselves.
600g baking potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks
300g mature cheddar, 200g grated, 100g cubed
Pinch cayenne pepper
Large bunch spring onions, finely sliced
1 egg, beaten
500g all-butter puff pastry
Caramelised red onions, to serve
Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425°F / Gas mark 7.
Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and set aside.
Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes until tender, then drain well and smash a little with a fork. Cool slightly.
Mix the cheese, cayenne and onions with the smashed potatoes and stir to make the filling.
Roll out the pastry to a rectangle about 25 x 35cm.
Gently lift the pastry onto the baking sheet and brush all over with beaten egg.
Press the cheese mix along one of the long sides of the pastry, leaving 2cm pastry free on one side and half of the pastry empty on the other side.
Fold the pastry over the filling and press the edges together, before trimming with a knife and sealing well by pressing the edges with a fork.
Brush with egg and bake for 30 minutes.
Cool, then slice and serve with caramelised red onions.
