Bangers and Mash Hand Pies with Mustard Dipping Sauce

The Strategy:

Wrapping savory browned sausage, grated potatoes, onions, and sweet peas in flaky puff pastry sheets yields a fun, portable twist on a British classic. Crimp the edges of the pastry triangles with a fork to seal the delicious, seasoned filling inside before baking until golden brown. Serve these warm hand pies alongside a creamy, zesty mustard dipping sauce.

Instructions

Filling Preparation

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Use a box grater to grate potato and onion.

Stir in the chili sauce and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire.
Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.

Assemble and bake

Roll out the pastry crust and cut each sheet into approximately 4-inch squares, creating 8 pieces.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the middle of each square.
Brush the edges of the square with water.
Fold over one side of the pasty to form a triangle. Seal the edges by crimping with the tines of a fork.
Cut three small slits in the top of each pastry.
Place the pies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake until the pies are golden, about 18 to 20 minutes.
