A Fabulous, Cheap & Cheerful Recipe

for Vegetarian Sausage Rolls

Today’s recipe for Cheese & Potato Pie Sausage Rolls is so easy, and uses leftover mashed potato, OR a sachet of instant mashed potato.

It’s based on my mum’s recipe for CHEESE AND POTATO PIE, but uses fresh spring onions in the filling.

I always have instant mashed potato in my store cupboard – I use it to thicken soups and stews, as well as for small portions of bangers and mash, or cottage pie.

Modern instant mashed potato isn’t like it used to be in the Smash potatoes days – it’s hard to notice the difference between freshly boiled spuds and the instant.

And, with energy prices rising, all you need to do is boil a kettle, and add 300ml of boiling water to an 80g sachet of instant mash.

For my recipe for Cheese & Potato Pie Sausage Rolls, I used 1 x 80g sachet made up with 200ml boing water, as I wanted it to be stiffer, and the egg loosens it up.

To that I added grated cheese, chopped spring onions, English mustard powder, an egg and seasoning.

I used a 375g pack of ready-rolled puff pastry (I love Aldi’s puff pastry) and another egg to glaze the sausage rolls with.

I then sprinkled the pastry rolls with black onion seeds (nigella seeds), however you can use sesame seeds or poppy seeds too.

The cheesy rolls took just 25 minutes to bake in a hot oven, and were utterly delicious when served as part of my weekly Sunday Tea Tray Supper.

These lovely little cheese and potato sausage rolls are perfect for any snacking, or picnics, lunch boxes, supper or for the cake and bake table at fairs and fetes.

I have shared the recipe below, with the option for freshly made mashed potaoes, leftover mash or the instant mash I used today.

I hope you enjoy this cheap and cheerful recipe, and please do let me know if you make these and if you made an small changes. Karen

Culinary Notes and Substitutions

• Use 280g to 300g of freshly made mashed potatoes or leftover potatoes in place of the instant mash.
• Use any strong flavoured hard cheese in place of Cheddar cheese.
• Use a small red onion, finely chopped, if you cannot source any spring onions.
