Feed My Family! (Dale Potato Pie)

This is yummy in your tummy, comforting, filling and tasty without being stodgy or fattening- perfick! 


Pros: 
Tasty
Low fat
Cheap 
Easy as pie (cringe!) to make


Cons:
Long (ish) cooking time
Personally, I've always found squirty cheese a bit creepy


You'll need (to serve six):
800g potatos (peeled)
one cal cooking spray (or similar)
600g fresh spinach (I'm not a fan of the frozen stuff)
Salt and pepper
480g Primula Light Cheese
2 x 28g bags of tortilla chips


To Make:
1. Pop your oven on high and boil your potatoes for 20 mins (I won't patronise you with an image of this!)
2. Wet your spinach, spray a pan with the one cal and pop the spinach in. Heat it for a couple of minutes until it's just starting to wilt.
3. Spray your oven dish with one cal and place half of your spinach in a layer.

4. Slice the potatoes about half a centimetre thick and layer half on the bottom of the dish (ideally you wait until they cool as they cut smoother but I can never be bothered and don't mind if a few crumble).
5, Squirt half of the Primula over the top (I use a spoon to smoosh it around and yes, I know smoosh isn't a real word but it describes the action perfectly!)
6. Repeat the process: spinach, potato, squirty cheese.
7. Crunch up the tortillas and layer them on the top.
8. Cook for forty minutes until it is golden and bubbly.
9. Enjoy- yumma yumma! 
Hope you don't burn the top of the tortillas like me! Happy Friday everyone. x

  2. Thanks for visiting my blog! This looks tasty...though I've never seen that kind of cheese in the US before. Does it come in a tube? I wonder if making a cheesy white sauce would be a good substitute? And to answer your question about the pudding, I've had this recipe for meyer lemon pudding sitting in my Pinterest desserts board for a while but have yet to try it out:http://www.thegalleygourmet.net/2011/01/meyer-lemon-pudding.html Let me know if you try it!

  4. It's fine for vegetarians but not vegans due to the Primula. Primula isn't something I normally use, it's is a strange tubed cheese, I took this info off their website so you can see if there's something similar in the US:

    Cheese (50%), Concentrated Skimmed Milk/Whey, Emulsifying Salt (Potassium Triphosphate, Sodium Polyphosphate, Sodium Phosphate), Modified Starch, Butter (contains salt)

    Allergen Information
    Contains milk. Gluten Free.
