A hearty Alpine-style bake with rich cheese and smoky bacon – ideal after a day on the slopes…or just a walk round the park Ingredients:
2 lbs floury potatoes, cut into bite-sized chunks |
1/2 ounce butter |
1 onion, chopped |
7 ounces smoked bacon, cut into small pieces |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
2/3 cup heavy cream |
12 ounces gruyere, grated |
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F
2. In a large pan, boil the potatoes for 5 mins, then drain and tip into a large mixing bowl.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan and gently fry the onion until soft. Add the bacon and cook for a further 5 minutes Mix the bacon and onion with the potatoes in the bowl.
4. Stir in the wine, cream, most of the cheese and a little paprika.
5. Season and mix together, then spread over a large (12in long x 2in deep) buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese, cover with foil and cook for 25 minutes Remove the foil, sprinkle a little more paprika over the top and cook for a further 20 mins until the cheese is golden brown.
