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!

    I made this last night with an extra layer of mushroom and a couple of cloves chopped garlic. Didn`t cover with foil and it came out beautiful and tasty. Partner and fussy daughter loved it. Will definitely make again.

      Good idea not to cover in foil as the mushrooms would have added more moisture. Glad you all enjoyed it and made the recipe your own:-)
