3. Dice bacon, then cook off in pan. Once bacon starts to release fat, add diced onion to pan to soften. Once bacon and onion is cooked, remove from heat ready to add to bake dish.

4. In a mixing jug or bowl, add cream and onion soup mix. Whisk together as much as possible. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you can be bothered paprika is a nice touch.

If using diced potato, dump the potato, bacon/onion mix, cream mix and a big handful of cheese into the bake dish, then gently mix. Then top with more cheese.
