Cheese and Potato Pie

 

Ingredients

 

Serve 4-6

  • 3 lb/1.5 kg baking/floury potatoes

  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 7 oz/200 g Provolone (or Cheddar) cheese, cut into small cubes

  • scant 1/2 cup/50g freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method:

  1. Cook the potatoes in a large pot of salted, boiling water for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash in a large bowl.

  2. Mix in the eggs, Provolone, Parmesan, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. Lightly oil a large nonstick frying pan and place over medium heat. When the pan is hot, spread the potato mixture in the pan in an even layer, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Level with the back of a spoon.

  4. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy underneath.

  5. Turn the cake over by turning it out onto a plate and then sliding it back into the pan.

  6. Cook on the other side for about 5 minutes, or until golden. Serve hot.
