Air fryer potato pies with mushrooms and cheese
An autumn comfort food favourite — tender potato pies filled with mushrooms, fried onions and melted cheese. A little nutmeg makes the potato dough even more delicious.
Ingredients:
• 500g potatoes, peeled
• 80–100g plain flour, plus extra for shaping
• 200g mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 80g cheddar or firm mozzarella, cut into small pieces
• A pinch of ground nutmeg
• Salt and black pepper
• A little oil for frying and spraying
Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain thoroughly, mash without adding milk or butter, and leave to cool.
Meanwhile, fry the onion and mushrooms in a little oil until softened and any excess moisture has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix the mashed potato with the nutmeg, salt and flour, adding just enough flour to make a soft dough.
With lightly floured hands, flatten a portion of dough. Add a spoonful of the mushroom and onion filling and a piece of cheese. Fold the dough around the filling and gently shape into a small pie.
Arrange in the air fryer in a single layer, leaving space between them. Spray lightly with oil.
Air fry at 180°C for around 15–20 minutes, until lightly golden. Turn carefully halfway through once the pies are firm enough to lift.
Tender potato, savoury mushrooms and melted cheese — autumn on a plate.
Bon appétit!
