Potato tart

Ingredients

Method

Ingredients

  • 500g Wilcox Perlas new season potatoes
  • 200g creamy feta
  • 125g sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs 
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 6-8** sheets filo pastry
  • 2 Tbsp Mainland Butter, melted

Optional:

  • Handful of fresh herbs for filling and to top

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180℃ fan bake. Roast the potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil for 30-40 minutes or until tender when tested, then leave to cool. Alternatively, use leftover roast potatoes if you have them.  
  2. Place the feta in a food processor or bowl, reserving a small amount for the top. Add the sour cream, garlic, breadcrumbs and eggs until just combined. Season with pepper and a pinch of salt. 
  3. Lay a sheet of filo pastry down on your bench, then brush with melted butter. Top with another sheet of filo then lay into a pie dish. Repeat with the remaining filo sheets, making sure to lay the sheets in different directions to cover all sides of the pie dish. 
  4. Spread half of the cheese mixture onto the filo. Slice the cooked potatoes, then layer half on top of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining cheese mixture and potato. 
  5. Scrunch the edges of the pastry with your hands and brush with butter. Bake at the lower part of the oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden and set. Leave to cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
