Bonnies Tater And Onion Pie With Ham Recipes

HAM AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add water. Blend with fork until mixture forms a ball and leaves the sides of the bowl. Roll out half of the pastry on a lightly floured board to fit a deep dish 9 inch pie plate. Cover and refrigerate. Wrap remaining pastry in plastic wrap. Refrigerate.
• Saute the ham, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in 2 tablespoons butter or margarine until tender. Cool to room temperature.
• Saute potatoes in remaining 2 tablespoons butter or margarine until crisp and tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Layer half of the cheese, ham mixture, and potatoes into the prepared crust. Repeat. Blend eggs and cream, and pour two-thirds over potatoes. Roll out remaining pastry on a lightly floured board to cover pie. Brush rim of crust with the egg and cream mixture. Top with second half of pastry. Trim and pinch edges to seal. Flute. Brush the top with remaining egg mixture, and trim with the pastry trimmings.
• Bake at 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until pie is golden.

HAM, LEEK & POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan, melt the butter, then add the onion and leeks. Cover, then very gently cook for 15 mins until soft. Add the potatoes after 5 mins cooking.
• Stir in the flour, turn up the heat, then add the stock, stirring until the mix thickens a little. Take off the heat, then stir in the crème fraîche, mustard and ham. Season to taste, then cool, if you have time. Spoon the mix into a large pie dish, adding a couple of bay leaves. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7.
• Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin. Cut a pastry strip the same width as the lip of the dish, wet the edge of the dish with egg, then fix the strip around it. Brush the top with egg, then lay over the remaining pastry.
• Trim pastry to the edge of the dish, then ruffle the cut edges with the knife blade to help the layers rise. Cut a few slits to let the steam escape, decorate with bay leaves, if you like, then brush all over the top with egg. Can be done up to a day ahead, keep chilled. Bake for 30 mins until risen.

BONNIE'S POTATO AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• 1. Cook's Tip: A word about cheese. I use jack cheese, fontina, gruyere cheese, cheddar, but I like fontina and jack cheese the best. For the milk mixture, I use a combination of sour cream, heavy cream and 2% milk, which is what I had on hand. You can use all milk, or all cream, or mix it up. Use what you like. Experiment to your hearts content. This is a fun recipe for that!
• 2. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 10 inch glass pie dish with Pam.
• 3. Scatter 2 teaspoons of garlic on bottom of Pam sprayed pie dish. Put half of the sliced potatoes on top of the garlic, overlapping the slices. Add half of the onion slices. Add salt and pepper (go easy on the pepper) Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese (your choice) over the onions evenly. Repeat the layer of garlic, potatoes, onions, and salt, pepper. Add the milk mixture evenly over the top, and then add the remaining 2/3 cup of cheese of choice, plus, the 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
• 4. Cover the pie with foil and bake 30 minutes, uncover and bake 30 minutes more. You may want to do a low broil to brown the top. Cut into wedges to serve. Enjoy!
• 5. Cook's Note: I also have a Tater and Onion Pie with ham that is another variation of this recipe and it is posted.
