Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C/Gas 7/fan oven 200C. Peel and thickly slice the potatoes, then boil in salted water for 8-10 minutes, until just tender. Drain.
  2. Chop onion finely and fry in 25g/1oz butter and a drizzle of olive oil for 5 minutes. Snip bacon into pieces with scissors and add to the pan; stir well and cook for a further 5 minutes, until the onion and bacon are lightly coloured.
  3. Chop cheese into chunks, rind and all. Layer half the potatoes in a 1.5 litre/2¾ pint buttered ovenproof dish and scatter over half the onion, bacon and cheese. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Repeat layers, then pour cream evenly over the top and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Rest for 5 minutes and then serve with a salad.

'This is real comfort food. I used Pembrokeshire potatoes and the texture was just right.'

    I have made this recipe. The only thing I changed was the type of cheese, using a Mature Cheddar and it was absolutely gorgeous. Would definitely recommend making it, it was really easy.

    I also used cheddar, plus some crumbled danish blue and skipped the bacon altogether. Delicious!

    I also had to change the cheese but used Camembert and it had rave reviews from both my Mother and Mother in Law.

    What is that cheese? I do not get it at all so instead I also changed the cheese .......... to gruyere. It was amazing even if I do say so myself.

    I used reblochon - you can get it from waitrose. The end result was delicious - everyone cleared their plates so they could have seconds. I've had to pass the recipe on.
