Cheesy Mash Pie

*DISCLAIMER* 

This is not a healthy recipe, if you're looking for something suitable for dieting turn away. If you're looking for something cheesy and gooey, with just a bit of crispyness...read on....

SERVES: 2-3

ROUGHLY 1h10mins PREP AND COOKING TIME

INGREDIENTS

3 Medium Sized Potatoes

6 tbsp Milk

1 tbsp Butter

150-200g Grated Cheese (Mixed cheddar and Mozzarella works really well)

Salt and Pepper to taste 

METHOD

- Heat your oven to 180° C (fan oven)

- Peel and cut your potatoes into small cubes, as equally sized as you can get them.

- Put into a large pan and sprinkle with some salt.

- Fill pan with cool water so that it covers all the potatoes.

 - Bring to boil and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. A fork should pass through them easily.

- Drain your potatoes in a colander. Then return to the now empty pan. 

- Add your milk and butter to your potatoes and start mashing!

- When the mash is nice and smooth have a taste and add any salt and pepper if it needs it.

- Add almost all of your cheese to the mash and stir in.

- Once it's all combined scoop it all into an ovenproof dish.

- You can either add whatever cheese you've got left now or wait until it's almost cooked. It just depends on whether you like slightly burnt crispy cheese or just melted cheese on top. I don't like the taste of well-done cheese so I add mine 5 minutes before its finished cooking.

- Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

- And you're done! 

You can serve this with all sorts, I like to have it with chicken, my boyfriend always has it with sausage and beans (below). It'll go with any kind of meat really. Or even just serve with some steamed vegetables.

Tips!

*This would also be really nice with some chopped chives mixed in or cooked chopped onions if you prefer*
