I'll be honest. I didn't know what to call this one.
The recipe popped up in my head a few years ago. I fear this is not a very original idea, but it's quick-ish to make, and it's good.
You'll need:
4 or 5 potatoes (I favour the roseval variety)
8 or 10 smoked bacon slices
about 8 slices of cheese (edam, gouda, whatever's available when you go shopping)
pepper (if you want)
a tiny, lil' pinch of salt (optional)
Prep time: about 25 minutes
Cooking: about 40 minutes
Instructions:
I've got a square dish that I use, but you can adapt the recipe to any shape.
1 - peal the potatoes and slice them rather thinly (confession time: I don't wash them for this recipe).
Place the slices at the bottom of the dish to cover it.
I usually add some pepper on the slices.
2 - Add 4 or 5 slices of smoked bacon.
(this time, I added 5 because there were only packets of 10 at my supermarket, and I'm lazy)
3 - Add 4 slices of cheese.
(my camera betrayed me with this layer, but it should look like this:)
4 - Then, add one layer of potatoes, one of bacon, another one of potatoes and top with the remaining cheese slices.
5 - Put in the oven for about 40 minutes (my old oven goes from 1 to 10, and I use it on 7. No idea of the exact temperature, sorry, but to give you a scale, that's the setting you use for a frozen pizza if you want to eat it 15 minutes later).
You get "Cheese with Friends".
With the bacon, I find salt isn't needed, and I add no oil or butter since the cheese is enough fat in the dish.
Enjoy!
PS: If this has a "real" name, tell me what it is...
