Potato, Leek and Three-Cheese Pie
by Amy Sheppard
This is basically a pie filled with all my favourite things! Mashed potato, leeks, garlic-and-herb soft cheese, little pockets of gooey camembert, all in a pastry case and covered in golden, crispy cheddar. It’s very like a homity pie – but next level!
Method
Based on 6 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Put the potatoes in a large saucepan of cold salted water. Bring to the boil and simmer until soft enough to mash. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.
Step 3
Grease a shallow round pie dish, roughly 24cm (91⁄2in) in diameter. Unroll the pastry and lay it over the top, gently pressing it into the edge of the base and sides. Let the excess overhang. Use a fork to make lots of holes in the base of the pastry case. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, pressing the pastry base down if it rises up. Remove from the oven and use a sharp knife to carefully trim off the pastry overhang.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan (skillet). Add the sliced leeks and fry over a medium heat for 5 minutes, breaking them up a little with the back of a wooden spoon.
Step 5
Mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the soft cheese, rosemary and cooked leeks and season with salt and pepper. Stir until combined, then spoon the mixture into the pastry case, spreading it evenly. Push the camembert wedges into the mixture at equal intervals, then cover with the grated cheddar. Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
Step 6
Rest for 5 minutes and serve with a salad or green vegetables.
