Ingredients

• 330g puff pastry sheet

• 100g of mashed potatoes

• 100g mashed sweet potatoes

1. Peel and finely dice the red onion.

3. Mix the sweet potato, mash potato and red onion together and season.

4. Roll out the pastry sheet on a sheet of grease proof paper.

5. Spread the stuffing mix out on the pastry, leaving a gap round the edge of the pastry. This would be the point you can add any leftover veggies.

6. Then spread the potato mix on top.
