Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6). Peel and finely dice the potatoes and boil for 5 minutes, then drain well.

  2. 2

    Mix the parboiled potatoes with the grated mature cheddar and finely chopped onion, and season well.

  3. 3

    Roll out the shortcrust pastry and cut into four large circles.

  4. 4

    Divide the filling between the circles, fold each over into a half-moon shape, and crimp the edges to seal.

  5. 5

    Brush with the whole milk and place on a baking tray.

  6. 6

    Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and crisp.
