Potato Bake

I always like to spice up everything! So I also spice up whatever I am cooking or baking. This potato bake is no exception.

Easy,

Quick,

And mouth flatteringly delicious!

Don't get scared by the list of ingredients, because all of this is in your fridge!

Perfect when you want to treat yourself, have friends down or want impress your parents ;)

Lets get started!

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour
Serves: 5 people

Ingredients:

The Bake-
Potatoes - 3/4 large finely chopped (1-2 mm thick)
Onions - 1 medium
Carrots - 1/2 finely sliced
Pepper - 1 whole OR coloured equivalent mixed
Chicken OR Bacon - 100 g fried

The Sauce-
Butter - 100g knob
Milk- Half a cup
Eggs - 2
Garlic Powder - As required (1 teaspoon personally)
Cream cheese- 1 - 1.5 cup

And Finally,
Cheese, Salt and Pepper while layering.

Procedure:

1) Start of by adding the chopped potatoes to a pot of boiling oven for 10 minutes and preheating the oven at 180C (You only want to cook the potatoes partially).

2) Spray a frying pan with oil and get your Chicken or Bacon frying! (Make sure they are not very large chunks. You would want them to be small)

3) Get started with your sauce while the frying and boiling continues. Melt the butter and transfer it into a bowl. Add the milk, cream cheese, eggs and beat. At the end at the garlic powder and beat the mixture till all the ingredients are blended.

4) Prep your veggies. Don't forget to get the potatoes and chicken/bacon out of the heat!

5) All your ingredients should now be ready and ready for layering. Spray your baking tin with a little oil and follow the following sequence while layering.
Potato
Onions
Chicken/Bacon
Pepper
Carrots
Sauce
Salt and Pepper
Cheese
REPEAT till you run out!

6) Let it bake and check the potatoes if they have cooked after 20 minutes (Poke a fork and check if it was easy to penetrate). It can take up to an hour depending on how long you let the potatoes boil and how thick (or thin) they were sliced.

Tips:
1) Make sure none of the egg white strands are left lingering around. BEAT it well!

That is it for this week's mid-week blog post.
