Smoky Bacon & Cheese Potato Bake

Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes, thinly sliced
• 200 g bacon, diced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp BlixSam’s Smoke Craft Spice
• 1 tsp BlixSam’s Garlic Melt (optional)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup cream
• 1 cup milk
• 1½ cups grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. In a frying pan, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
3. Add the onion to the pan and sauté until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Stir in the BlixSam Smoke Craft Spice and BlixSam Garlic Melt. Mix well and remove from the heat.
5. In a large bowl, combine the cream, milk, half of the grated cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper.
6. Grease a baking dish. Layer half of the potatoes, followed by half of the onion mixture and bacon. Pour over half of the cream mixture.
7. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onion mixture, bacon and cream mixture.
8. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top.
9. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
