Name: Creamy Potato and Mince Bake with Bacon
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: 350–400 g potatoes; 30–50 g bacon; ½–1 onion; 200–250 g minced meat; 1 clove garlic; 100–150 g frozen vegetables (optional, e.g. cauliflower and carrots); 1 tsp tomato purée (optional); paprika – optional; marjoram – to taste, or thyme; 100 ml double cream; 100 ml milk; 50 ml vegetable stock; salt – to taste; pepper – to taste; nutmeg – to taste; 60–80 g grated cheese

Method

Step 1
Peel the potatoes, slice them thinly and parboil in salted water for 5–7 minutes. They should still be quite firm.
⏱ Duration: 7 min
Step 2
Render the bacon in a pan, add the onion and fry briefly. Then brown the minced meat well and add the garlic at the end. Season with pepper, paprika and a little marjoram or thyme. If using frozen vegetables, fry them from frozen with the mince for 3–4 minutes now.
Step 3
Whisk the cream, milk and stock together and season well with pepper and nutmeg. Optionally fry 1 tsp tomato purée in the mince pan first – it makes the bake richer without tasting of tomato sauce.
Step 4
Layer potatoes, then the mince filling, then potatoes again in a small baking dish. Pour over the sauce, sprinkle with the cheese and bake at 200 °C (conventional) for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is nicely browned.
