Boil the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes then drain and put to one side. Fry the leeks in a little butter for a few minutes then add the flour. Cook for a minute then add the milk and cook to make a thick sauce. Add the potato, cheese, chives and salt and pepper to the cooked leeks.

Preheat oven to 180C, grease a pie dish with butter. Take two thirds of the pastry and line the pie dish. Trim any excess, prick the base with a fork, line with greaseproof paper then fill with baking beans or rice and bake for 12-15 minutes then remove the beans and greaseproof and return to the oven for 2 more minutes.

Pour the filling into the base then top with the remaining pastry. Brush the pastry base with milk to stick the pastry lid on then press together well. Trim any excess and brush the top with milk. Cut a slit in the top of the pastry then put back into the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
