Potato and leek slice recipe

- 1 handful grated cheddar cheese
- 20 x 20cm (8 x 8in) sheet of puff pastry

Step-by-step
- Season and pan-fry the diced potato in a splash of olive oil over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until soft, then add the sliced leek and continue to pan-fry for another 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl, add the cheddar and mix everything together, crushing the potatoes slightly.
- Line a rectangular dish with cling film. Transfer the filling to the dish and squash it down with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for about 1 hour until it sets into a block shape.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5.
- Remove the block of filling from the dish and wrap it in the sheet of puff pastry.
- Place on a lined baking tray, brush with beaten egg and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown, then serve.
