Potato pasties

Childhood memories of family picnics and a lovely recipe for cheese and onion pasties. These delicious little pasties are packed with Farmhouse Cheddar cheese, mashed potatoes and onions, and are my MOST requested recipe by all of my family and friends!

Sometimes a classic is best enjoyed without any twists and changes! Traditional Cheesy Leek & Potato Pasties need no additions to be exciting!

First of all, let me be clear – these are NOT Cornish pasties. Made in Cornwall, yes, but no true Cornishman would ever allow them to be known as a Cornish pasty, due to my complete disregard…

A cheese and onion pasty is a classic. We love serving them for dinner, with homemade chips and baked beans – a plate of orange food at its finest. But you could just as easily enjoy yours with a quick pickle on a picnic, as they taste great hot or cold. However you eat them, we recommend a good shake of malt vinegar. After something meatier? Try our Cornish beef pasties.

These easy cheese and onion pasties are hearty, flavourful and the ultimate comfort food! A classic British dish. It's the perfect combination of delicious cheese and a caramelised onion filling, encased in a crispy puff pastry shell, baked to golden perfection. Perfect to have on the go, in a lunchbox or as a savoury side to a salad. They're so quick to make from scratch and vastly better than any shop bought version.

This Cornish pasty recipe is made easy with store-bought puff pastry sheets. The potato leek filling is roasted on a sheet pan with fresh thyme, and tossed with heavy cream and layered with cheddar cheese. A delicious, comforting, and modern twist on an English classic! Serve with a simple green salad.

And unlike certain other pie doughs, it doesn't need to be treated delicately.

These easy Curried Potato Pasties are the perfect portable veggie meal or snack (depending which size you make!) for lunchboxes and summer picnics, served with a quick, slightly spicy coriander chutney that takes just minutes to make!

The traditional Cornish recipe uses a cheese such as Double Gloucester or English Cheddar, but I have made some very tasty varieties using Stilton, Feta, Bleu Cheese, and even Havarti.
