Sooo much pooping

[Egluntyne]

Mash potatoes, add chopped onion and grated cheese , put more grated cheese on top, add sliced tomatoes and then bake in over until golden and crispy. We have it with buttered crusy bread and salad

[Seagazer]

Do you have to fry the onions first? My lot love cheesy mash but this sounds extra nice.

[Cinnamon]

Its identical to my recipe,passed down from my Grandmum

I do fry off the onions first,just so they are softer.I also find that they are better in semicircles rather than smaller bits,as it gives more texture.

 

I sometimes add a layer of tomatoes,either fresh or tinned to the middle of the pie,which is lovely,or some cooked bacon,which is also nice.

[Seagazer]

Thank you very much. Might give it a go during the week.

I always put baked beans in the bottom - I make my own so they're really tomatoey.

 

I made it last night but had no onion so I chopped a leek really finely and added that instead. I usually chop the onion really finely and put it straight on to the hot potato before mashing.

We do the beans too Lesley

... but not homemade!

You'll have to start growing some Borlotti beans then Lewis

Can I also suggest chopping some streaky bacon, dry frying it and the add it with the cheese, give it a good mix and continue as above.

 

We also seve ours (thebacon version) with beans and we know it as a 'Galette'. It is one of Hubby's most favourite supper meals.

We do have a space to fill so might just try them

 

Edit: Just bought 40 seeds for £1.89 ... the joys of ebay

Just too easy to click though sometimes - I love growing borlottis, the pods are such a lovely lime green with red splashes. De-husking the dried beans from the pods keeps grandchildren quiet for hours

I wonder why 'Galette' - it's my favourite comfort food of all time.......I'll have to try it with bacon sometime.

We have some dwarf barlotti beans this year, please will you post the recipe for your baked beans in late summer, so that I can make some. I presume it uses home grown tomatoes too?

We were out on Sunday and at a crepe place - they had Galettes on the menu - savoury pancakes made with buckwheat flour

 

Just made me think of this

[Lesley]

I love galettes - buckwheat agrees with my innards better than wheat flour.

 

I'll post the Baked Beans recipe - you can make them anytime of year really.

I had my first ever galette when we were in Brittany last week. Cooked by a 2 michelin star chef who had decided to go it alone and move from Fleurie to Brittany and open up a creparie. I will be hunting down buckwheat flour as it was very very yummy.

This is from my Nanny too ! I don't fry the onions just chop them really small and never add anything else as this was our standard vegetarian recipe I do sometimes use red leicester or double gloucester and serve plain crisps instead of bread - lovely
