Originating in the south-west of England, pasties are a filling meal of beef and vegetables encased in a flaky pastry. Simple but delicious, this traditional recipe is the perfect on-the-go lunch, ideal for keeping in the freezer for when you need them. We used Maris Piper potatoes for the best results, but any floury potato will do. To freeze, allow to cool completely then wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge and re-heat for 20 minutes in a low oven.
