Ingredients for Cheese and Potato Puff Pastries

Inside these gorgeous cheese and potato puff pastries is a beautifully spice potato mixture, topped with mozzarella cheese just before they’re closed.

• 4 potatoes
• 2 medium sized red onions
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 red chilli
• 3 tablespoons rapeseed oil
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon chaat masala
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 2 ready rolled puff pastry sheets
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
• 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds

Method

1. Begin by peeling and then boiling 4 medium sized potatoes until soft. This will take about 7-8 minutes! Drain the potatoes and then mash them and set aside.
2. Chop your onions, garlic and chilli finely and then fry off in your rapeseed oil on a medium low heat for 3 minutes.
3. Add in all your spices and stir well, cook these off for a further 2 minutes and then add in your potatoes and mix to combine.
4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
5. Cut 2 ready rolled puff pastry sheets into equal rectangles. Place 2 teaspoons of the potato mixture onto half of the rectangles. Add 2 teaspoons of mozzarella cheese. Use the remaining puff pastry as lids for your parcels. Crimp the sides of your parcels with a fork.
6. Whisk the egg with the the milk and brush onto the parcels, so that they turn golden in the oven.
7. Sprinkle your parcels with some white and black sesame seeds and then put the parcels into the oven to bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
