• Tip the bread mix into a large bowl and stir in the mustard powder, then make up following pack instructions. Cover with oiled cling film and leave to rise in a warm spot for 45 mins-1 hr until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add potatoes and cook for 10-12 mins until tender. Drain, leave in a colander until cool enough to handle, then peel off skins and chunkily dice.
• Mix the crème fraîche, cheddar and parsley, then season really well.
• Roll out just under half the dough on a floured surface to a 25cm circle - it's easier to use a rolling pin and stretch it with your hands at the same time. Lift onto a floured baking sheet that will fit into the freezer. Evenly pile the potatoes on top, leaving a good 2-3cm border. Dot half the crème fraîche mixture on. Follow with the spring onions, then the ham, then dot remaining crème fraîche mixture all over the top. Roll out remaining dough as you did the first, to a little bit bigger than 25cm.

Do this all the way around, then press with the prongs of a fork to really seal it well. The pie is now ready to freeze, brush some cling film with a little oil and wrap it up well.
