How to Cook Potatoes with Cheese and Bacon
- Peel the potatoes and slice them about ¼" (0.5cm) thick. Cut the bacon into thin strips, grate (shred) the cheese, peel and crush (mince) the garlic and chop the parsley.
- Heat the fat in a frying pan and fry the bacon strips until they are crisp and golden. Arrange potato slices so that they form a layer at the bottom of a greased oven-proof dish. Sprinkle over some grated cheese and a few cooked bacon strips. Add a twist of freshly-ground pepper. Continue making further layers until you have used all the potato, bacon and cheese then sprinkle the top with the garlic and parsley.
- Cover the dish with a lid and cook in the middle of a preheated moderate oven Mk 5 - 375ºF - 190ºC for about 45 - 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, pour over the cream, cover and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes then serve immediately.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
If you're not sure that your potatoes are cooked, simply try one before adding the cream! If they need further cooking, leave in the oven a little longer.
Reviews of Potatoes with Cheese and Bacon
| April 06 2015 First I have to say - I had to try this recipe after I was disappointed by a similar appetizer at Smokey Bones restaurant. Wow... this recipe went above and beyond my expectations. And so easy to make as well! I was afraid they would be sub par since they are not fried but that was not the case. Much better than anything I've had in a restaurant as well. I salt & peppered the potato slices before baking. I turned the oven off when I pulled the slices out to top them - the retained heat in the oven was adequate to warm the cream. Just be careful not to slice the potatoes too thin - I had a couple that were much thinner than the rest turn into crispy potato chips! charleyfarley (4 reviews) |

Cheese is just so versatile and there are so many choices from hard Parmesan to soft Cream Cheeses. We have recipes to suit all tastes.
No mess, no fuss, just throw it in the oven and leave it alone till it's ready to eat. That's the approximate theory! How close do we get?

If it seems unusual to suggest serving a mixture of potatoes and salad dressing while they are still warm, I can only suggest that you give it a try.
Crisp Potato Cakes with Goats Cheese and Caviar is, in fact, a rather novel form of savoury "finger food" (petit four salé).
Making a burger topping is quickly and easily done and adds a great flavour to a burger meal. Whilst making the topping, keep the burgers warm.
