Mini Potato Bake

I must confess that I love potatoes and will eat them in just about any form! Potato Bakes are one of the more indulgent ways to enjoy them and when you have a whole dish in front of you, it's hard to stop at just one slice. Hence, here are my mini potato bakes - perfect as individual side dishes for a family dinner and great for portion control. There are many different recipes out there for potato bake but this one is really easy to prepare.

 

I haven't included salt and pepper seasoning but you may add it to potatoes if you wish.

 

Mini Potato Bake

Serves 4

2 potatoes, sliced into thin rounds
1 cup thickened cream
125g tasty cheese
1 piece rindless shortcut bacon, diced into small pieces
Oil spray

1. Spray ramekins with oil.

2. Mix cream and cheese together and set aside.

3. Line base of ramekins with potatoes. It doesn't matter if whole base isn't covered, but do overlap if need be so that majority of base is covered.

4. Pour some of the cream and cheese mixture over the potatoes - about a spoonful will suffice.

5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until ramekins are almost full.

6. Sprinkle with bacon.

7. Bake uncovered in 180 degrees celcius fan forced oven for approximately 1 hour. I like to have the ramekins on a baking tray so they can be removed easily. Take care not to burn yourself and remember to let the ramekins cool a little before placing them on a child's plate.
