Serves 4…generously
;)
You will need:
900g potatoes any kind –although probably not
new potatoes as it’d just take longer to prepare!
6 Bacon Rashers
3-4 blocks frozen spinach depending on your
love of spinach
300ml Crème Fraiche/greek yoghurt…if you haven’t
either of those you could make your own roux*
Cheese. Gruyere if you’re feeling fancy pants.
- Preheat the oven to 180°c/Gas 5
- Chop up the spuds into slices about 5mm.
- Bring them to the boil for about 8-9 minutes or until they’re just starting to soften.
- Meanwhile grill the bacon until crispy and then cut into pieces.
- Microwave the spinach for approx 4 minutes
- Lightly butter an oven proof dish.
- Cover the bottom with a layer of the potatoes, then all the bacon and spinach and half the crème fraiche.
- Top with another layer of the potatoes, the rest of the crème fraiche and the cheese.
- Bake for 25 mins until bubbling and enjoy!
You could use anything you’ve got in the fridge
in this one; grilled courgette and ham, fried onions and sliced tomatoes,
broccoli and chicken, the list is endless be creative and use up those slightly
sprouting, looking sorry for themselves spuds!
* Roux
You will need:
1oz butter/marg
1oz plain flour
1/2pint milk
- Melt the butter
- Add the flour and combine
- Add all the milk and stir continuously (I mean it!) on a medium heat until boiling after which the mixture will thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste (or a spoonful of wholegrain mustard yum yum) and away you go.
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
