Bacon & Potato Layer Bake is layers of sliced potato, bacon, tomato, onion and cheese baked with chicken stock. So simple and delicious, comfort food I grew up with!
NB: I have brought my Bacon & Potato Layer Bake recipe up to date with some better photographs as its so popular and deserved better. Enjoy!
Bacon & Potato Layer Bake is another dish that I grew up eating, it’s totally yummy and a great hit with the whole family.
Over the years I’ve tweaked the method as the potatoes always had a habit of not cooking and having to spend longer in the oven.
To get round this problem I now par boil the potato slices at the beginning. Plus the addition of chicken stock helps by providing moisture and steam during the cooking process as well as making the dish even tastier!
We love this bacon bake with just a simple serving of petite pois and a dollop of ketchup, comfort food at its best!

This looks and sounds delicious! All the ingredients are easy to get hold of, it doesn’t take long to cook & in our house would be enjoyed by the whole family for sure.
I’m glad of seen this as it’s given us another meal we can eat now (my wife is always trying to find things because some in the house are a bit fussy lol). Thank you!
