Method

  • step 1

    Boil the potatoes in salted water for 8-10 mins, until tender but still firm. Leave to cool, then slice.

  • step 2

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Unroll the pastry with its baking parchment on a baking tray. Reserve 1 tbsp of the crème fraîche, then spread the rest over the pastry, leaving a 2cm border around the edge. Season. Layer the potatoes, ham and cheese over half of the pastry, seasoning the potatoes as you go.

  • step 3

    Fold over the other half of the pastry and use a fork to seal the edges. Trim with a knife for a neat finish – the pie should look like a big sausage roll. Mix a little water into the reserved crème fraîche, then brush all over the pastry. Make a few cuts along the length, then bake for 35-40 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then serve with a salad, if you like.

Great base recipe. I always adjust for one and maybe add an ingredient or two.

This was incredible! I think I’d add cranberry sauce to it to elevate it a little taste wise. Otherwise, gorgeous.

Made this for my family and Wow! everyone thought it was fantastic. I added some chopped spring onions and a little grated mature cheddar. This will become a firm favourite in our house. BTW I doubled the recipe and made it on a baking tray, still wonderful

Great recipe. I made a few additions….didn’t have crème fraiche so I changed that for some thick double cream and a dash of Greek yoghurt mixed. Added in some snipped chives as they were also lurking in the fridge. Winner, and I’ll be making this again. We served it with salad and some pickles.…

I used cooked mushrooms instead of potatoes, which worked very well.
