Potato Pie

Potato Pie 

- (originated from Lesley Waters 'Broader Than Beans')

Peel potatoes and cut into chunks. 100g = 1 point I used 900g
Put in a pan with water and a teaspoonful of veg stock powder and bring to the boil.
Cook until soft enough to mash.
Drain them leaving a bit of liquid to mash them in - mustn't be too wet.

Meanwhile fry a large chopped onion in a tablespoon of olive oil until softened and staring to brown - 3 points (you can use oil spray and save these points)

Chop enough mint leaves to produce 2 tablespoons.

Add onion and mint to mashed potatoes and use masher to mix it all together. Add a good grind of black pepper and salt if wanted - I don't as there is plenty in the veg stock powder I use.

Lightly oil a 24 cms flat pizza type plate or mark a circle on a baking tray. Put potato mixture on plate or baking tray and level top.

Put in oven on 200c Gas 6 for 25 minutes - top should be browning.

Cut into wedges and serve hot with anything or cold for lunch boxes etc.

12 points for the whole thing with 3 oil points - it made 8 decent wedges at 1½ points each.
