Potato bake is a family favourite. It’s comfort food at it’s best.

It is a dish which I make, that I know BOTH of my children will eat.

I like to mix it up a little bit each time. Sometimes I add chorizo or sweet potato.
And sometimes, the original is the best.




Cheesy Potato and Bacon Bake
Quantities will depend on the size of the baking dish used.
I have used a CorningWare Etch 800ml side dish

Ingredients:
Potatoes
Bacon
Brown Onion
Thickened cream
Grated cheese

Method:
Chop up bacon and onion finely and brown in a pan on a low heat
Peel and slice potato thinly
In the bottom of the dish add a layer of the thinly sliced potato
Add a sprinkling of the bacon and onion mixture
Drizzle some thickened cream
Add another layer of potato
Add a sprinkling of bacon and onion mixture
Drizzle some thickened cream
Repeat until the dish if full to the top




Cover the dish and cook in the microwave for approximately 10 minutes (or until cooked).

Add a layer of grated tasty cheese





Bake in the oven or under the grill until the cheese is melted and delicious (I like mine a little bit crunchy on the edges).

Serve as a side dish… or if you’re like my daughter, eat it as a main dish.


Alternatives:
Replace the bacon with chorizo or ham
Add alternate layers of sweet potato
Instead of onion, use leek or spring onions (soooo good!)
