Handmade using Cranks' original recipe, with mashed potatoes, peas, onions, garlic & parsley in a short-crust pastry, finished off with cheese and a touch of sour cream
This is the original and famous Cranks recipe for Homity Pie (as you will find in the recipes section of our website and in the Cranks Recipe Books). It has been updated a little for the version which you can buy in the shops, but here is the basic recipe and you too can update it as we did by adding seasonal ingredients...
Wholemeal shortcrust pastry (see page 230 Cranks Recipe Book) 10 oz (300 g)
Potatoes ¾ lb (350 g)
Onions 1 lb (450 g)
Oil 3 tbsp (45 ml)
Butter or margarine 1 oz (25g)
Parsley, chopped ½ oz (15 g)
Cheese, grated 4 oz (100 g)
Garlic cloves, crushed 2
Milk 1 tbsp (15 ml)
Salt & pepper to taste
Roll out the pastry and use to line six 4" (10 cm) individual tins or foil dishes. If you don't have time to make it from scratch, you can use ready made shortcrust pastry and it works just as well!
Boil or steam the potatoes until tender.
Chop the onions, then sauté in the oil until really soft.
Combine the potatoes and onions, add the butter, parsley, 2 oz (50 g) cheese, garlic, milk, and season well to taste.
Cool, then use to fill the pastry cases.
Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake in the oven at 220 Deg C (425 Deg F/Mark 7) for 20 minutes, until golden.
Alternatively, use to make on 8" (20 cm) flan. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Prepare to be wowed by the ultimate comfort food! These pies taste great when served with a crisp green salad or fresh steamed veggies!

You'll see we have provided information on each product’s contribution to your GDA. GDA’s are something that we keep a keen eye on, we are proud to say we won’t launch a product if it contributes disproportionately to your GDA of fat or salt, and have constantly demonstrated this by not launching products which are over the top in these areas. Having said that, since we are a vegetarian brand and many of our products contain cheese, we are not pretending to be a 'low fat' healthy brand. What we aim for is a balance of taste and health, and an honesty that goes with all our products, so you know what you’re eating and can make sure you eat a balanced, healthy diet on a daily basis.
