Potato Cheese And Onion Pie Recipes

CHEESE, ONION, AND POTATO PIES

Steps:

• Make the pastry by the usual method, then halve it, form each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and leave in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes, put them in a saucepan with plenty of cold water, and bring to the boil. Boil gently for 5-10 minutes, or until the cubes are cooked but still retain their shape. Drain and leave to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine the green onions, cheese, slightly cooled potato, and parsley. Bind with the creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper. Roll out one of the pastry discs, cut 8 rough circles slightly larger than the indents, and push 4 into the first tray to make the bases. Fill each with an eighth of the mixture and put the remaining 4 circles on as lids. Seal the pie edges with the back of a knife, making a little hole in each one. Repeat for the second tray with the other disc and the remaining half of the filling.
• Cook for 20 minutes, by which time the pastry should be firm, beginning to turn gold, but still pale, and let the pies stand a little out of the oven in their trays before easing them out of the molds.

DEEP-DISH CHEESE, ONION & POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. In a small bowl, mix the grated cheddar with the crème fraîche, then set aside. Grease and lightly flour a ceramic or metal pie dish, or shallow cake tin, about 23cm wide. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to line the tin with a little overhang.
• Place a layer of potatoes over the tart and scatter over some of the sliced onions, spring onions and chunks of cheese. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and paprika. Layer over more potatoes, scatter again with more onions and cheese, then splodge over half the crème fraîche mix. Repeat with 2 more layers (the potatoes will come up way above the pastry), pushing the filling down slightly, then finish with the remaining crème fraîche mix.
• Roll the remaining pastry so it fits over the potatoes. Brush the sides with egg, then lay the pastry over the top. Squeeze the edges together and trim with a knife. Crimp the sides and brush the top all over with egg. Place the pie on a baking sheet, bake for 30 mins, reduce the temperature to 180C/ fan 160C/gas 4, then carry on baking for 1 hr until golden. Leave the pie to rest for 10 mins, then serve straight from the dish cut into slices, with a salad or baked beans on the side.

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.

POTATO, CHEESE AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C Roll 2 thirds of the pastry on to a lightly floured work surface and use it to line a 23cm flan dish.
• Arrange the potatoes in a single layer over the base of the dish, then top with a layer each of the onion and cheese. Repeat until the potatoes are all used, seasoning well between each layer.
• Pour over the cream.
• Roll out the remaining pastry to make a lid. Lightly dampen the edges of the pie with water. Place the pastry lid on top and pinch the edges together to seal well.
• Bake for 1 - 1 1/4 hours, until the potatoes and onions are tender. Leave for 10 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to cool slightly.

POTATO CHEESE AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• For pastry, put 1/4 cup of the flour, shortening or lard and 3 tablespoons ice water into bowl.
• Beat until mixture is smooth.
• Add remaining flour.
• Mix until mixture resembles coarse meal, but holds together when pressed into a ball.
• Add water if necessary.
• Divide into two parts.
• Grease a 9-inch pie pan.
• Roll out one part of dough to fit the pan. Set aside.
• For filling, melt 2 tablespoons butter in each of two skillets.
• Add onion slices to one and potato slices to the other.
• Saute each vegetable for 8 to 10 minutes or until onions are soft and potatoes are tender crisp.
• Spread half the cheese into bottom of the pastry lined pan.
• Top with half the onions and half the potatoes. Sprinkle with pepper and seasoning salt.
• Repeat layering.
• Roll out top crust. Arrange over filling.
• Seal edges. Brush with egg-milk mixture. Pierce vent holes.
• Bake at 350 F until golden, about 30 minutes.

APPLE, CHEESE & POTATO PIE

Steps:

• First, make the pastry. Tip the flour, cheese and a pinch of salt into a large bowl and mix. Add the butter and rub it in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Mix in 4-5 tbsp cold water, and bring together into a dough. Wrap and chill for 30 mins.
• To make the filling, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over a medium heat, then add the oil and onions and cook for 10-15 mins until caramelised. Add the thyme and fry for 1 min more. Tip in the flour, and stir to combine. Gradually stir in the stock, adding it in small amounts to prevent lumps forming. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Stir in the mustard and vinegar towards the end of the cooking time.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large pan of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 4-5 mins until just cooked and still holding their shape. Drain well, then stir into the sauce. Add the apples, cheddar and some seasoning, and stir again. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Pour the filling into a 28cm oval baking dish (ours was 28 x 18.5 x 6.5cm). While it cools, roll out the pastry on a surface lightly dusted with flour to the thickness of a £1 coin. Cut into strips roughly 1cm wide. Lay half the strips across the dish horizontally, leaving gaps of a few millimetres in-between, then, one by one, weave in the remaining strips vertically, using an over and under technique, also spacing them apart by a few millimetres. Re-roll any trimmings and cut into flowers, leaves, or other shapes to decorate, if you like (see tip, below). Arrange any pastry shapes on top, then brush with the beaten egg.
• Bake for 50 mins, keeping an eye on it - you may need to cover the top with foil if it's starting to brown too quickly. Leave to cool for at least 10 mins before serving.

CHEESE AND POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Boil for 12-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Drain well, then tip back into the saucepan over a low heat to steam-dry for a few minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Grease a deep baking dish with butter.
• Mash the potatoes using a masher or ricer, then mix in the butter, milk and mustard. Add two-thirds of the cheese, the spring onions and the egg and briefly mix together. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the potatoes into the baking dish. You can leave the top craggy, or smooth with a spatula then run a fork over to scruff up the surface. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
• Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is crisp and well browned. Serve with a colourful salad, pickle and mustard, or steamed green vegetables.

WELSH CHEESE, POTATO AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (170°C). Butter or grease a medium-size baking dish; set aside.
• 2. Rinse potatoes and scrub away debris. Peel if you wish. Slice potatoes very thinly, and place potato slices in a colander, and rinse in cool running water. Drain well and set aside.
• 3. Peel and thinly slice the onions; set aside.
• 4. Coarsely grate the cheese; set aside.
• 5. Place a layer of onions in baking dish, then add a layer of potatoes. Season potato layer with salt, pepper, and dill (adding more or less as desired). Top with a layer of cheese. Drizzle the water down each side of the dish so you don't disturb the layers.
• 6. Cover with lid (or you can use foil, but you'll want to butter it to prevent sticking). Place baking dish in oven, and bake for 60 minutes. Remove the lid and bake uncovered for an additional 30 to 45 minutes or until the cheese forms a crust on top and is lightly browned. Serve immediately while still hot, garnished with chopped fresh chives.

CHEESE AND ONION PIE

Steps:

• For the pastry, pulse the flour, baking powder, salt, butter and egg yolk in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the grated parmesan and stir until well combined. Gradually add the water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing continuously until the mixture just comes together as a dough. (You may not need to use all of the water.) Roll the dough into a ball, then wrap it in cling film and chill in the fridge for an hour. Meanwhile, for the filling, bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the potato pieces to the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender, then drain well and set aside. Bring a separate large saucepan of water to the boil, add the sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Drain well and return the cooked onions to the saucepan. Sprinkle the onions with the flour and stir well to coat. Add the milk and cream and heat the mixture over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously, until the liquid is smooth and has thickened slightly. Add the cooked potato pieces, grated cheese, mustard and cayenne pepper and stir well. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper, stir well, then set the filling mixture aside. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Grease a deep 20cm/8in pie tin with butter. Add a small amount of flour, turn the tin to coat the base and sides of the tin, then shake out any excess. When the pastry has chilled, roll out two thirds of it onto a clean, floured work surface, until it is almost twice as wide as the diameter of the pie tin. Using the rolling pin, lift the pastry and lay it over the pie tin to line the base and sides. Gently press the pastry into the corners of the tin, trimming off any excess, then prick the base of the pastry case several times with a fork. Cover the pastry with a sheet of greaseproof paper and fill it with rice or dried beans. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the pastry is pale golden-brown. Remove from the oven, discard the beans and greaseproof paper and set the pastry aside to cool. When cool, pour the pie filling into the pastry case. Roll the remaining one third of the pastry out onto a clean, floured work surface until it is slightly larger than the diameter of the pie tin. Brush the rim of the cooked pastry case with some of the beaten egg and place the pastry lid on top of the pie. Trim off any excess pastry. Seal the pastry lid to the pastry case by crimping the edges of the pastry lid with a fork. With a knife, make two small holes in the centre of the pastry lid to allow steam to escape. Brush the pastry lid with the remaining beaten egg, then transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 mins, or until golden-brown.
