Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 120 grams Pesto sauce
- 100 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until just tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
Mash the boiled potatoes roughly using a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Stir in the pesto sauce and mozzarella cheese until well combined. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smoothen any creases, and cut it into 6 equal squares.
Spoon a generous amount of the pesto-potato mixture into the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the pastry corners over the filling, lightly pinching the edges to seal, forming small pie-like parcels.
Beat the egg in a bowl and brush it over the tops of the pies for a golden finish.
Place the pies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Allow the pies to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pint Size Pesto Potato Pies warm or at room temperature!
