Potato and cheese tart

Potato and cheese tart

Cheesy, potato-y and tasty! This delicious tart will be a hit with everyone who can snag a bite. Tip: Don't serve this tart chilled from the fridge, it tastes much better at room temperature!

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients:

  • 400g flaky pastry
  • 3 Agria potatoes, peeled, cut into 3cm chunks, boiled in salted water until tender, drained and cooled
  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 200g feta, crumbled
  • 1 ½ cups grated tasty cheddar
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 200ml cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C.
  2. Roll the pastry out on a clean floured surface then use it to line a 28cm loose-bottomed tart tin. Scatter the potatoes, spring onions, feta and cheddar evenly over the pastry.
  3. Mix the eggs, cream, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper together in a bowl then pour the mixture evenly over the potato mixture.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set, puffed up and browned. Remove from the oven and cool.
  5. Serve at room temperature (or picnic temperature) in wedges.
