Leftover Mashed Potato Cheese and Onion Pie
Really, in all honesty, this dish is just mashed potato mixed with cheese along with a few chopped onions thrown in for good measure. It is really filling, so although it makes a great side for meat or chicken, it has always been a meal in itself for me.
I only make it when I have made mash though (hate peeling potatoes) and it is a great way of using up any leftovers. Because this is a leftover dish, there are no strict measurements; just use as little or as much as you have. For the amount of cheese, again, that’s personal preference (the stronger, the better though). This time I used chilli cheese, which was awesome.
When I was a kid, mum gave me a couple of slices of white bread to go with it and I used to dollop a load of HP all over it, along with some pickled beetroot. Sounds so odd when I write it, but it really is my ultimate comfort food. Although I don’t eat store bought white sliced bread, I think my super soft bread rolls would be the absolute perfect replacement.
