Much, much better than the packet mix variety. - Kaz

Ingredients

1 tsp canola oil spray
4 potato large peeled thinly sliced
125 g bacon rashers diced rindless
1 brown onion diced large peeled
1 tsp garlic crushed
1 tsp chives chopped
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
600 ml thickened cream
3 pinches paprika *to decorate

Method

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 180C.
Step 2

Spray a medium sized, frying pan with canola oil and add the onion, bacon, chives, salt and a very light sprinkle of pepper.
Step 3

Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally until onion has softened. Do not brown. Remove from heat.
Step 4

Line a medium sized square Pyrex dish with thinly sliced potato. Sprinkle with a little bacon mix and a small amount of pepper. Sprinkle with shredded tasty cheese. Continue layering until all the potato is used up.
Step 5

Before adding the last layer of cheese, slowly pour the cream over, filling up the gaps so the cream reaches the bottom of the Pyrex dish.
Step 6

Finally, top with a layer of shredded tasty cheese to cover, and sprinkle with a little paprika or fresh chives for colour.
Step 7

Bake covered with foil for about 30 minutes.
Step 8

Remove foil and bake for a further 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through and the cheese topping is golden.
