Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups cooked ham (cut in chunks)
  • ½ cup carrot, sliced (1 large)
  • 1 cup leeks, sliced - white and light green part only (about 2 leeks)
  • 2 cups potatoes, peeled and chopped (about 2 medium size)
  • 2 teaspoon marjoram (dry)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, more to taste
  • 1 cup chicken stock or broth (or ham stock if you have it)
  • 4 tablespoon flour (all purpose)
  • ½ cup milk or cream
  • teaspoon nutmeg (ground)
  • 1 puff pastry sheet
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (or Dijon)

Instructions

  • Remove puff pastry from freezer to thaw.
  • In a medium sauce pan, cook potatoes and carrots in boiling water until tender (5 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, preheat cast iron skillet to medium heat. Melt butter and brown ham with leeks and marjoram for 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Sprinkle flour over top of ham. Then add nutmeg and stock and blend with a fork or whisk to eliminate any lumps. Cook this mixture on medium heat for about 5 minutes to thicken, stirring frequently.
  • Drain potatoes and carrots and add to skillet along with cream and mustard. Mix together.
  • Unroll puff pastry and cut appropriate size to cover top of pie (can use an inverted plate of the same size).
  • Top pie filling with puff pastry dough. Poke the top with a fork a few times to prevent over rising.
  • Place skillet on cookie sheet to catch any drips.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until browned and bubbly.
