Cheese & Onion Pie for the Family

Cheese, Onion & Potato Pie

 

The cheese melted instead of going crispy... I may have put too much on but I do love cheese.

 

 

This is so so so easy to make! As you can tell from the caption, mine didn't turn out as hoped but was still very enjoyable and Tyler's dad asked for second! This meal should take 45 minutes prep and cooking in all. It provides shed loads of calcium, vitamin D, carbohydrate, protein, vitamin C and fibre.

 

 

Ingredients

 

• 8oz Grated Cheese
• 6 Medium White Potatoes
• Quarter of a Grated Onion

 

The Not-so Nitty Gritty

 

1. Finely grate a quarter of an onion. Grating will stop the onion ruining the smooth texture and it releases the flavour so much better. Leave this to one side.
2. Peel the potatoes and cute them into quarters and boil for 30 minutes then drain and mash.
3. Grate the cheese and ass to the mash along with the onion and stir through thoroughly.
4. Pat the mash down firm into an oven proof dish and add slices of cheese to the top. It browns nicely (or should do) and gives the mushy main bit a crispy top. Add a slice of tomato for decoration if you wish. I didn't as I can't stand fresh tomatoes. Brown for 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool a little for that little mouth.
5. Serve with baked beans, sweet corn or carrots.

 

 

What Little Monster Thought of it....

Tyler used his hands for this, much to my joy at cleaning him up afterwards. Ate most but did not seem keen, probably better for younger babies getting used to textures or older ones needing a filling meal after nursery or school. I love it and so does the other half, he wanted seconds the greedy bugger. Oh and Tyler is eating baked beans one by one at the minute so it did take forever.
