Cheese Onion and Potato Pie
(Recipe from onlycrumbsremain.com)
Ingredients
For the Filling
200 g (7oz) potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
1-2 red onions
knob of butter
2 tsp olive or vegetable oil
175 g (6oz) Lancashire or mozzarella cheese
Salt
For the Pastry
225 g (8oz) plain flour plus extra for rolling
50 g (2oz) butter chilled cut into cubes
50 g (2oz) lard or white vegetable fat cut into cubes
3 – 5 tbsp cold water
milk for glazing
Instructions
1.Peel 200g (7oz) potatoes and cut into 2cm (1in) cubes. Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil. Salt the water and cook the potatoes gently for about 10 minutes or until there is no resistance when a sharp knife is inserted. Strain the potatoes and set aside to cool.
2.Thinly slice 1-2 red onions. Place a knob of butter and 2 tsp of oil into the frying pan and set over a medium heat. Add the sliced onions to the frying pan. Reduce the heat and cook the onions slowly until translucent and soft about 15 minutes. Once cooked tip onto a sheet of kitchen roll to absorb the excess oil
3.Meanwhile, make the pastry. Place the 225g (8oz)flour, 50g (2oz) butter and 50g (2oz) lard or vegetable fat into bowl and rub in the fat with your finger tips until the mixture resembles bread crumbs
4.Make a well in the center and add the water, a little at a time. Using a rounded pallet knife, or similar, cut through the mixture to make a dough. You may not need all of the water. Bring the dough together with your hands and shape into a ball and flatten into a disc. Wrap in cling film and place into the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
5.Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C)
6.Cut the pastry into two equal pieces and roll out one piece and use to line the base of the pie plate. Roll out the remaining pastry for the pie lid.
7.Combine the cooked potatoes with the onions and season to taste with salt and pepper.
8.Grate 175g (6oz) Lancashire cheese and place half of the grated cheese into the pastry case. Add the potato and onion mixture. Top with the remaining cheese.
9.Using a pastry brush, paint the edge of the pastry with a little milk. Use a rolling pin to lift the rolled out pastry and lay over the filled pie plate. gently press the edges together to seal and trim away the excess pastry. Brush the top with a little milk and cut a small slit in the middle to allow steam to escape
10.Bake the pie in the oven and bake for 30 – 35 minutes until the pastry is cooked through and a beautiful golden color. You may need to rotate the pie halfway through the bake. Remove from the oven once cooked and allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting into it and serving

Beautiful video as always 😌 It makes me feel so much better during the quarantine. Happy weekend to all of you ☕️🍃☀️
How are you preparing for spring? 🌼
Lovely as always especially still in red lockdown here in North bay Ontario, What do you use for cleaner in the brown spritzer bottle ? Thank you again.
I am really trying to get mentally prepared for the growing season and starting my seeds really soon! I love this quote at the end.
You are so lucky to have a garden! I try to fit everything in my small balcony. I am grateful to have that, but still a little bit jealous! 🙂 Your recipes look great and I like that you shared a few more spots around your home. I'm definitely trying the potato pie! The golden color of it is just perfect! ❤

First of all I love Gavin, the music toward the end esp. , and how you put the detail into one meal, the way it used to be …hence slow living…so important, not just as a necessity in older days, but I see it as an art too, in present days… I am glad to see it here now, how you make it an event, an honorable event for the family…life in moments and events of home making …to me it is special , because it takes slow moments to create it… 💜 beautiful! 🙏

THE HOLINESS OF THE ORDINARY
It is in the Ordinariness of our Daily Tasks
Done in the Beauty of Love and Humility
Thus done daily in the Sweetness of Simplicity
Render unto our Blessed LORD
Even as did JESUS' Blessed Mama Mary
Wherein in doing so is Hidden the Treasure
Found in the Beauty of Simplicity and Humility
As Known and Shown in the Life of Mary
She faithfully performing her daily tasks
Doing all she did for the LOVE of JESUS
And for our Father's Honor and His Glory
