Sausage, cheese and potato pie recipe
Comfort food and a tasty balanced meal too this is a recipe which is much loved by my kids. They adore it as baked individual pots accompanied with a side of sweetcorn and peas.
Ring the changes by swapping the sausages for some hot smoked Salmon or even smoked Mackerel. This is ideal if you’ve any leftover mashed potato from the night before - a real bonus, as you’ll save quite a bit of preparation time.

- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and gently sauté the onion for about 8 minutes stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelised.
- Drain the potatoes and return back to their pan mashing well with the milk, the mustard and some seasoning.
