Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Cook potato in a little water in the microwave until tender, about 6 minutes. Very lightly mash the potatoes with a fork so that potato is broken up.

- Add potato and peas to the pan and mix through. Cook until peas are defrosted.
- Make a layer of four sheets of filo, brushing lightly in between each sheet with milk. Cut pile in half lengthways to make a long thin strip. Put a spoonful of mixture in the corner of each strip and repeatedly fold over itself into a triangle shape. Brush the top of each triangle lightly with milk and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
