Things You'll Need:
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1 tbsp. butter
- Frying pan
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp. chopped parsley
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. ground pepper
- Mixing bowl
- 1 pound packet puff pastry
- Rolling pin
- Fork
- ¼ cup milk
- Nonstick baking pan
-
Step 1
Peel the potatoes. Remove all of the potato skins. Rinse the potatoes under cold water. Dice the potatoes into small cubes.
-
Step 2
Peel the medium onion. Mince the onion into small pieces.
-
Step 3
Melt 1 tbsp. of butter in a frying pan. Cook the onions and potatoes until they start to brown. This will take around 15 minutes under high heat.
-
Step 4
Mix all of the ingredients. Place the diced potatoes, minced onions, cheddar cheese, egg, parsley, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until the ingredients are well blended. This will be the pastie filling.
-
Step 5
Divide the puff pastry into four equal sections. Roll each puff pastry out until they are 6 inches in diameter.
-
Step 6
Place ¼ of the pastie filling in the middle of each pastry. Equally, divide all of the filling among the puff pastries.
-
Step 7
Fold the pastries in half. This will place the filling inside the pastry. Seal the pastries by placing a little water along the edge.
-
Step 8
Press the fork along the edge of the pastry to crimp the edges of the pasties.
-
Step 9
Brush milk on the pasties. Place the cheese and onion pasties on a nonstick baking pan.
-
Step 10
Bake the pasties in the oven for 35 minutes at 400 degrees, or until the pasties are golden brown.
-
Step 11
Remove the pasties from the oven. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
