Remove all packaging and foil from your Higgidy steak pie[s]

Meanwhile, peel and chop your potatoes into bite-sized pieces

Add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender

Grate your cheddar cheese finely

Once the potatoes are tender, drain and return to the pot to steam dry

Return the potatoes to a low heat with a small knob of butter, a splash of milk and the grated cheddar cheese

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mash until smooth – this is your cheddar mash

Reboil a kettle

Combine your gravy base with 100ml [150ml] [200ml] boiled water in a heatproof jug, whisk thoroughly

Put the gravy mix in the microwave and cook for 1 min or until thickened

Give everything a good mix up (careful it may be hot!) – this is your gravy

Add your blanched peas to a colander and pour boiled water all over to refresh them
