Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for cheese and potato pie:
Ingredients:
- 500g potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
- 200g cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 200ml milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped herbs like parsley or thyme for extra flavor
- Optional: breadcrumbs for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F).
- Prepare Potatoes: Place the sliced potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are just starting to soften. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until softened and fragrant. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until you have a smooth sauce. Add about 150g of the grated cheese and stir until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Pie: In a baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, then pour over half of the cheese sauce. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
- Bake: Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top. If desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for added crunch. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Once cooked, allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped herbs if desired.
Enjoy your delicious cheese and potato pie!
