    PAG's Cheese, Onion and Potato Pie

    Back into pie mode for the weekend, and what was a chip shop favourite of mine when growing up in Manchester. Gather the makings.



    First the pastry. Flour, butter, baking soda and some salt into a food processor, some cold water added, then removed and kneaded into a ball. Wrapped in clingfilm and in the fridge for an hour.



    Got on with peeling and dicing the potato, into salted water for about 20 minutes and left to drain. Finely sliced an onion, and grated the mature cheddar cheese. Removed the pastry from the fridge, rolled it out and put into the tins, leaving enough pastry for the lids later. I blind baked the cases for about 10 minutes before removing from the oven. Meanwhile, cooked the onion in some butter for about 5 minutes until they'd softened.



    Added a couple of spoons of flour, mixed together, then gradually added milk. Once all incorporated, added the cheese, some mustard powder, salt and pepper, and lastly the cooked diced potato.



    Pastry cases out of the oven and filled with the cheese and potato mix.



    Rolled out the rest of the pastry and made lids.



    Into the oven for about 25 minutes until going slightly brown.



    Cooled for 10 minutes and removed from cases.



    Good eating, whether hot or cold.

    Nice one PAG, they look great.

    But… you got these from your local chipper?

    I think I would have been tempted to do these open topped, with grated cheese on top.

    Keep up the good work.

    Probably the two most popular chip shop pies in North West England were meat and potato, and cheese and onion. Sometime in the next couple of weeks I'll be doing open topped macaroni cheese pies. Got to remember, all mine are for home consumption so most of the batches are destined for the freezer, space in which is rapidly disappearing.

    See if you can get some local bars involved, once they open again.

    Then you can enjoy your own pies while you’re out for a pint!

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It didn't fit into the weekly menu of sausage and beans on Monday, chops and mash on Tuesday, steak and fried Wednesday et al.?
