Preparation time: 30 Mins
Cooking time: 20 Mins

200g potatoes, mashed
1 onion, diced
1 egg, beaten
100g cheese, grated
250g puff pastry (ready made)
1 tsp English mustard powder
1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
2 tbsp milk

Boil the potatoes until tender, then mash the with milk and cheese
Fry the onions in a drop of oil until soft and then add to the mix
Add parsley and mustard to mix
Season to taste
Preheat oven 180'C/Gas mark 4
Then roll out your pastry (depending on how many you want to make you could halve the pastry and make pasties for yourself as well)
When you have rolled out your pastry, spread your cheese and potato mix onto the whole of the pastry just leaving a little space on one end (about 1cm)
Roll your pastry so you have what looks like a swiss roll, put a little milk along the last edge to keep in place
Glaze the top using the egg, then cut your swiss roll width ways into slices
Place on baking tray and cook for about 20 minutes or until golden
