Instruções

1. PREHEAT OVEN to 185 Celcius

2. Slice or dice potato's into desired thickness, then put into pot water to boil. Once potatoes are cooked enough that you can stab with a utensil but still firm, remove from heat and cool with cold water. Then drain ready to place into bake dish.

3. At the same time, dice bacon and 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.

5. Put a thin layer of cream mixture in bottom of bake dish.

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.

If using slices of potato, layer like a lasagna as follows : potato, bacon/onion mix, cheese, drizzle cream mix. Then repeat until either run out of ingredients or dish is full. Then finish with remaining cream mix and more cheese.

6. Bake in oven till cheese is golden and bubbling. I have no idea how long, I usually wait till I can smell it and then check the colour.

7. Serve

Notas

Cheese amount varies depending on your preference. I like cheese so sometimes I use 500g...
