  4. Turn mixture onto Thermomat or lightly floured board and knead lightly to bring together.

  12. Add a splash of oil and saute 2mins/100/Sp 2.
  13. Add silverbeet and chop 5secs/sp4 - use the spatula to stir so that all of the silverbeet gets chopped.
  14. Add potatoes, crumbled feta, cheese and whisked egg into bowl and stir 5secs/Reverse/Sp2.
  15. Whilst filling is sauteing, roll out ⅔ of pastry into a circle larger than the pan you will cook in on (I use my pizza stone covered with Gladbake)
  16. Place the pastry on the pan and pile the potato mixture onto pastry, leaving a border around the pastry.
  17. Roll out the remaining pastry in a circle to fit on top. Fold extra pastry from base to seal edges and press together.
  18. Pierce top with a fork.
  19. Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
Notes and Variations
For a dairy free option for my son, I make him his own little pie without the cheese. If you wish to eliminate the cheese from the whole pie you can add an extra egg to make it creamier
