Potato Bake
One of the easiest and tastiest potato dishes you'll ever make!
A South African favourite! There are many versions, but this is how I make it. I don't normally add other vegetables since the star of the show is the potatoes!
5 - 6 large potatoes, peeled and finely sliced
1 large onion, chopped or sliced if preferred
2 cloves garlic, crushed
250 ml - 500 ml cream
1 pkt white onion soup powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp dried Thyme
butter
1 cup grated cheese - Cheddar
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Butter a large oven-proof dish.
2. Prepare the potatoes and garlic and onion.
3. In a jug, mix the soup powder with the cream.
4. Lay a single layer of potatoes on the base of the buttered dish. Sprinkle over some garlic and onion on it. Then add a bit of the cream mixture. Add some salt and pepper and the dried thyme.
5. Repeat the layers (except more salt and pepper and the thyme) until you've used all the ingredients and then lastly add the grated cheese on top. Add some more salt and pepper if preferred.
6. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and the cheese nicely browned.
Enjoy!
NOTES
You can add some other vegetables like mushrooms or broccoli if you like.
For a more crispy top you can add some breadcrumbs with the cheese, but rather add the breadcrumbs towards the end and grill until nicely browned.
