Ingredients
450g diced floury potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons plain flour
Filling
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 shallot, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 red pepper, diced
175g canned tuna in brine, drained
50g sweetcorn
150ml skimmed milk
3 eggs
salt and pepper
50g grated cheese
Method
1. Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 10 minutes or until tender - drain and mash, adding butter, mix with flour to form a dough.
2. Knead the potato dough on a floured work surface and press the mixture into an 8-inch flan dish. Prick the base with a fork - line with baking parchment and baking beans and bake blind in a preheated oven at 200C for 20 minutes.
3. Heat the oil, and cook the shallot, garlic and pepper for 5 minutes - spoon the mixture into the flan shell - flake the tuna and arrange it on top with the sweetcorn.
4. Combine milk and eggs and season with salt and pepper - pour mixture into flan shell and top with grated cheese.
5. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until the filling has set.

Untried, but like the idea of a potato-based shell rather than pastry . . .
