Hi Becca, you don’t mention what to do with, or when to introduce the Egg ! I am taking a guess and going to whip it up and mix into the potatoes. Will let you know how it comes out – I have also made a couple of tweaks. More later. Thanks for the inspiration – I have a folk memory from the 1980’s of eating Homity Pie in Cranks’ restaurant in Covent Garden, if my memory serves.

I’ve made this yesterday and messed up a little.. I forgot the onion and added the extra butter on the potatoes a bit too late. Yet it was still delicious and you easily feed 6 people!
Will remake for sure!

In reply to Nadine Quin. I think it should probably reheat fine in the oven if you want to cook it fully the day before! Or if you prefer, you could prepare the pastry and the filling separately, and then assemble and cook on the day. I wouldn't pour the filling into the pastry until you're ready to bake though, otherwise you'll end up with soggy pastry. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Just wondering if you’ve ever made this in advance? Thinking of it for Christmas Day for vegetarians and side for others.. Might make up on Christmas Eve and bake Christmas Day? Or would you advise baking it all in advance and just reheating Christmas Day?

I made this last night. I did add a bit of salt, but otherwise made it as you posted. It was quite tasty! The dash of curry gave it a subtle but nice background flavor. I may have gone overboard on the potatoes – I don’t have a scale and was converting metric to US pounds in my head anyway, but it was still good. Thanks for sharing your recipes and ideas!

This looks like something that I would love! Anything with potato and cheese is a winner in my book. I will have to try it out sometime!
