Directions
Cheese, Onion, Leek & Potato Pie, My adaptation of Huey’s Cheese, Onion & Potato Pie Huey (Iain Hewitson) is a larger than life Melbourne chef who has written several cookbooks and who features regularly on a number of extremely popular TV show I have posted several of his recipes on Zaar Some conversions: 100g = approximately 31/2 ounces; 150g = just under 5 ounces; 250g = 8 ounces; 1kg = 32 ounces or 2 pounds , I am rating this on flavour only The directions state spring onion but none is listed in the ingredients so I omitted them I cut the recipe back to make a small dish I sliced the potatoes very thin Used sour cream and an old cheddar for the tatsy cheese We tasted the filling after cooking and it is DELICIOUS but the potatoes were still not cooked enough yet the puff pastry was very browned BUT in defense of the recipe my oven acts up and will spike the temperature I think this is what happened Once the price of leeks drops a bit I will retry this recipe since it tasted so yummy I might even slightly precook the potato slices Made for Newest Zaar tag
