Potato, Cheese And Onion Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

455 g shortcrust pastry
455 g waxy potatoes, very thinly sliced
1 small onion, very thinly sliced
100 g red leicester cheese or 100 g other hard cheese
salt
fresh ground black pepper
145 ml cream

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C Roll 2 thirds of the pastry on to a lightly floured work surface and use it to line a 23cm flan dish.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer over the base of the dish, then top with a layer each of the onion and cheese. Repeat until the potatoes are all used, seasoning well between each layer.
Pour over the cream.
Roll out the remaining pastry to make a lid. Lightly dampen the edges of the pie with water. Place the pastry lid on top and pinch the edges together to seal well.
Bake for 1 - 1 1/4 hours, until the potatoes and onions are tender. Leave for 10 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to cool slightly.
