| Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to the [[Boil|boil]], add the sliced [[Potatoes|potatoes]] and cook for 4-5 minutes until just tender.
| Drain and return to the pan then leave to cool for 5 minutes.
| Add the crème fraiche, [[Cheese|cheese]], [[Garlic|garlic]] and some [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]] to the [[Potatoes|potatoes]] and gently mix together then add the [[Onions|onions]] and mix once more, being careful not to break up the [[Potato|potato]] slices.

| [[Brush]] the edges of the [[Pastry|pastry]] with a little [[Egg|egg]] then gradually bring up the edges, pleating the [[Ham|ham]] and pastry up and over the filling to enclose completely, pinch the edges together in the centre and trim off the excess pastry.
| Put the parcel on to an oiled [[Baking|baking]] sheet and repeat to make six parcels.
| [[Brush]] the outside of the parcels with beaten [[Egg|egg]].
| Cut the remaining [[Onion|onion]] into 6 slices then put a slice on top of each [[Pastry|pastry]] parcel.
