About this recipe
Potato and bacon bake is a hearty meal made with thinly sliced potatoes, fried bacon, onion, cream and cheese. The bacon gives it a rich, lightly smoky flavor, while the cream binds the potato layers into a creamy bake. The potatoes are sliced thinly and briefly parboiled so they are tender in the center after baking. Let the dish rest briefly once it comes out of the oven; this makes it easier to cut and serve in even portions.
Ingredients
700 g potatoes
150 g bacon
1 onion
150 ml cream
70 g grated mild semi-hard cheese
Steps
Preheat a conventional oven (no fan) to 190°C and position a rack in the middle. Slice the potatoes 3 mm thick, cook for 7–8 minutes after the water comes to a boil, until they begin to soften around the edges but are not falling apart, then drain thoroughly.
Cut the bacon into small dice and the peeled onion into thin slices. Put both in a dry frying pan and cook over medium heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring. The bacon should release its fat and brown, and the onion should soften in that fat; do not add separate oil.
Layer the potatoes and the bacon with onion in a baking dish, drizzling each layer with some of the cream.
Cover the dish and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with the cheese, and bake for another 10 minutes, until the potatoes are completely tender when pierced with a knife and the cheese is browned.
Let stand for 5 minutes and serve.
