Cheesy Potato Pie recipe
information
Buy maincrop potatoes rather than new for this recipe. Maris Piper is particularly good for mashing, or you could use Desiree, recognisable by its red skin. Cotswold cheese, a mixture of Double Gloucester cheese and chives, gives a lovely flavour to the crispy potato topping.
