I absolutely love puff pastry and what better way to use it than in a pie! Filled with a deliciously creamy sauce that will blow you away. Can you believe the creaminess was made with just blending some of the potatoes. I did add some awesome violife cheese which you can get from Asda or Tesco but it's not essential.
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
2 blocks jus-rol puff pastry
6 medium potatoes
2 leeks
1/4 block violife (optional)
1 tsp sage
2 tsp parsley
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees celsius. Roll out one of your pastry blocks so it'll fit in your pie dish and lay it in, press down so it moulds the sides to form the pie base. Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks and add to a pan. Bring to the boil and cook until firm but soft. Take out half the potatoes and set aside. Further cook the rest of the potatoes and add the violife. Blend with a hand blender to form a creamy sauce. Add the herbs and diced leek. Wilt the leek and turn off the heat. Add the rest of the potato back to the pan then pour the mixture into the pie dish. Roll out the second pastry block and lay on top of the pie. Using scissors cut the excess pastry away and use for decoration or be inventive ;). Twist the pie edges to seal the pie, pierce with a fork, then pop in the oven for 40 minutes until golden. Take out the oven and serve! Incredible served with peas.
So that's the recipe! Everyone absolutely loved it and it even tastes fabulous the next day.
