Method
Preparation
- Begin by peeling and dicing your Yukon Gold potatoes, ensuring they’re cut into uniform pieces for even cooking. Place them in a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for about 15–20 minutes until tender. Drain and cool.
- While potatoes cool, heat a skillet over medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, sauté diced onions with a pinch of salt for about 5–7 minutes until tender and translucent.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes and sautéed onions. Add shredded cheddar, cream, mustard, and flour, seasoning with salt and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
- For the egg wash, crack an egg into a small bowl, whisk with a splash of water, and set aside.
Assembly and Baking
- Unroll thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into rectangles, approximately 4x6 inches. Brush edges with egg wash, add a spoonful of filling, fold over and crimp edges tightly.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C), line baking sheets with parchment, arrange assembled pies, brush tops with egg wash, and cut slits to allow steam to escape. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the pies cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before serving warm.
