  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the spring onions and potato and cook gently for 4-5 mins, until slightly softened. Set aside to cool a little.

    Stir the cheese and mustard through the potato mixture. Season to taste.

  3. Step 3

  4. Step 4

    Brush a little of the beaten egg onto the edges of each rectangle, then spoon a portion of the filling into the centre. Fold the pastry over to seal, trim the edges and crimp with a fork. Transfer to 2 baking trays lined with baking paper and chill for 30 mins. Preheat oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5.

    Make a small slit in the top of each turnover and brush with egg. Bake for 30 mins until golden and well risen.
