Mash Potato Pie With Bacon, Leeks And Cheese
From Delicious Magazine February 2013
Serves 4 to 6
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 55 to 65 minutes
Bacon, leeks and cheese are a great combination but you can add just about any
thing to this versatile dish. Start with onions and cheese and then add
something green for a bit of colour and after that anything goes.
Ingredients:
1 kg of floury potatoes such as King Edwards,
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
400 G of leeks, finely sliced
80 G of bacon, diced
30 G of butter, plus extra for greasing
250 ml of milk or single cream
1 medium egg, beaten
a large handful of fresh flat leaf parsley, leaves chopped
a generous pinch of paprika
90 G of firm cheese such as Gruyere, grated
METHOD:
1. Half or quarter the potatoes so that they are all about the same size. Put
the potatoes into a large pan, add cold water to the pan enough to cover the
potatoes, salt well and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes until the
potatoes are tender.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a low heat. Add the onion and
leeks to the frying pan and fry for 10 minutes until they are soft. Add the
bacon and fry for 3 to 5 minutes until it has browned, season to taste and set
aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius/170 fan/gas mark 5. Drain the
potatoes well and mash coarsely mixing in the butter and milk. Season well and
add the egg, stir to combine. Stir in the leek mixture, parsley, paprika and
half of the cheese. Then pour this mixture into a 24 cm greased casserole
dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and bake in the preheated
oven for 35 to 45 minutes until well browned.
Serve immediately.
Freezing Instructions:
Freeze the uncooked dish from frozen covered with foil for 20 minutes then
uncover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until piping hot throughout.
