Cheese and potato pie c 1985

Made a gorgeous cheese and potato pie tonight for me and the children. Simple recipe but delicious and very reminiscent of the past. Coming home after a day at school to this treat ideally served with baked beans! All it needs is mash potato knob of butter and any cheese that you have knocking around that needs using up .
