Fantastic potato pie

This is the first time I try this recipe and I am glad I did! It is fairly simple (if you buy the puff pastry ready-made as I must admit I did). It is also very nutritious and tasty.

Serves 4-6 people:

puff pastry
700g potatoes, thinly sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
150ml double cream
2 eggs
Salt, pepper and herbs


1. Parboil the potatoes for 10 min. Meanwhile, fry the onion and red pepper with a bit of butter.

2. Mix together the drained potatoes, the onion and pepper, herbs and seasonning and 2 tablespoons of double cream.

3. Divide the pastry in two. Roll out half of it on a baking sheet. Spoon the potato mixture onto the pastry, leaving 2-3 cm border.

4. Beat 1 egg into a smal bowl and brush the edges of the pastry. Roll out the second half of pastry and cover the potatoes. Seal well with the beaten egg. Make a slit with a knife in the centre of the pie. Brush the pie with the rest of the beaten egg.



5. Place in a 200 degrees preheated oven for 30 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, mix the rest of the double cream together with the second egg.

7. After 30 minutes, pour in the double cream and egg mixture through the slit. Place back in the oven for another 15 minutes.

8. Serve with fresh vegetables.
