Winter is definitely here and a very simple but comforting dish is Bacon, Potato and Onion Bake. I love this dish because it's another store cupboard fall back and easily assembled whilst you get on with other things. Try and use a cast iron or metal baking dish for this. It really makes a difference to the cooking time. No one likes raw potatoes!
6 Medium Potatoes, peeled and very finely sliced.
1 large White Onion, very finely sliced into rings.
200 grams of Strong Cheddar Cheese
400 mils of Milk or Milk and Cream mixed
Butter
Sea Salt
Ground Black Pepper
8 Rashers of Smoked Bacon
Flat Leaf Parsley to finish.
Heat the Oven to 200 degrees. Liberally butter an 8 inch baking dish. Put a single layer of potatoes in the bottom of the dish. Put a quarter of the onion slices over the potato. Season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the some of the Cheddar over and repeat 3 or four times until everything is evenly layered.
Pour over the milk and seal the dish tightly with a double layer of foil. Cook for approx 45 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through. Whilst this is cooking chop the bacon into thin squares, making sure you separate them out.
When the potatoes are soft take off the foil and whack the oven up to 220 degrees. Sprinkle the bacon on top of the potato and cook for a further 15 minutes until the potatoes are golden and the bacon is crisp. Finish with a sprinkling of parsley.Serves four as a side dish or two as a big plate of comfort food!
