Cheese,Onion And Potato - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 -10 medium potatoes, cleaned and diced
1 large onion, peeled and diced
milk or cream, as desired, to mash the potato
2 tablespoons butter
250 g of grated Mature cheddar cheese
1 large tomatoes (to garnish)
ground black pepper
1 pinch paprika (optional)
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Preparation

Boil the diced onions and potatoes together.
Once potatoes are soft, drain and mash together with the butter and milk or cream and slowly add 2/3 of the cheese (set aside the other 1/3).
Add some ground pepper to taste. I also add a pinch of paprika and cayenne pepper.
Take the mash off the hob and set aside. When slightly cooled add 1 beaten egg to the mix. (This step shouldn't be skipped it really adds to the flavour!).
When everything has been combined together, place the mixture into a baking dish, and cover with the remaining cheese, add the tomato slices around the dish as you please.
(You could also top with cooked bacon to make a change when you cook the dish again!).
Bake at 180 C / Gas 4 in the centre of the oven until the cheese has melted and is starting to turn a nice golden brown around the edges.
