Total Time: 38 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 13 mins

Ingredients

• 1 half pound sheet puff pastry
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 3/4 cup mashed potatoes
• 1 cup grated cheese
• butter, for frying the onions, if required

Recipe

• 1 fry the onions until soft and cooked.
• 2 preheat the oven to 180 degrees c or 350 degrees f.
• 3 lay out the puff pastry sheet.
• 4 spread the mashed potato over the pastry, leaving a half inch gap at one end (if you have a rectangular sheet of pastry, leave the gap along one of the longer sides). this will allow the pastry to seal once rolled and stop the filling overflowing.
• 5 spread the onions and cheese over the mashed potato, again leaving a gap.
• 6 roll the pastry tightly towards the end with a gap in the filling.
• 7 dampen with water the pastry where you have left a gap and use this part to seal the end to the roll.
• 8 cut into 3/4 inch pinwheels and bake on a tray in the oven for 12-13 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked and the cheese golden.
• 9 allow to cool slightly before removing from the tray.
• 10 serve warm or at room temperature.
