- 6-8 Medium Potato
- 1.5 tbsp Butter or Margerine
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- A Pinch Black Pepper
- 100g Cheese
- 1 tin Baked Beans
Method
- 1) Place a pot of water on the hob to boil, add salt as desired. Peel the potatoes (or scrub them well if you prefer to keep the skin on).
- 2) Chop the potatoes into small chunks, then place into the water to boil.
- 3) Once the potatoes are cooked (they should be nice and soft) drain the water then place back into the pan.
- 4) Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5.
- 5) Add the butter and mayonnaise to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Add salt and black pepper as desired.
- 6) Transfer the potato to a casserole dish and smooth out until flat.
- 7) Grate the cheese directly over the top of the potato- try to make sure it goes on evenly. Alternatively, you could grate the cheese first then sprinkle the cheese on top.
- 8) Place in the oven for about 20 minutes. Start checking after 15 to see if the cheese has started to brown.
- 9) Once the cheese is browning, heat up your baked beans by your preferred method.
- 10) Then simply serve and enjoy!

- 3. Roll out the larger ball of pastry and line a shallow greased 23cm/9in tart tin. Tip the cheese and onion mixture into the pastry shell. Moisten the edges of the pastry and cover with the rolled-out top piece, crimping the edges together carefully.
