Corned beef plate pie
This double-crusted pie may have an old-fashioned thrifty feel, but it’s ideal for a family supper, and very easy to put together. Use good-quality tinned corned beef for the best flavour and choose a reasonably waxy potato variety such as Desiree, that will hold its shape in the pie, giving a good texture.
