Potatoes are everywhere and there are so many things you can make with them in so many different ways. In South Africa, there is one thing we enjoy and that’s having potatoes with our braai. Our classic creamy potato bake isn’t a whole spud or potato salad, but it is a third, very delicious family favourite. It’s the creamy, heartwarming goodness you expect at every family get together and is great during cold winter months. Tips for your classic creamy potato bake

Potatoes: What kind? Starchy potatoes such as Russets, Sebago, King Edwards, Maris Piper and Yukon Golds are great for any kind of potato gratin. However, general all-purpose potatoes work well too, such as Desiree which are waxy, floury and starchy all at the same time. Onions: Onions are part of the magic of baker's potatoes. Choose yellow onions. They have a strong flavor that mellows out and sweetens as they cook. Step 1: The first thing you do is pan fry some delicious bacon pieces for around 10 minutes until crispy. For an example of what you can do with this potato baker, we used it in our Baked Potato and Barbecue Beans recipe. It is very similar to a tradition in Turkey of cooking a ceremonial dish called "Keşkek". This tradition is still ongoing in some rural areas. Why This Recipe Works?You can easily do this with a sharp knife, but a mandolin or food processor can also be used to speed up the process. Durable and portable, our premium potato baker perfectly blends time-tested design with top-of-the-line 304 stainless steel. Here’s Nana Ling’s recipe for this dish that she sent in to her local paper’s recipe competition in August 1938. The Maitland Mercury, 16 August 1938. Step 6: Layer up your potato casserole like a lasagna. Begin with a layer of potatoes, then scatter over a layer of onions, bacon, parmesan, herbs and pepper. Complete 2 more layers, then finish with a final layer of potatoes.

There are loads of different variations of potato bake around, but my recipe for Classic Potato Bakeis dead easy and incredibly delicious! Vegan Butter: Baker's potatoes is a buttery dish, so we'll be using vegan butter which makes a lovely substitute for traditional butter. Allrounder or floury potatoesare perfect for this Pommes Boulangere dish. The potato & onion bake would slip and slide apart when you serve if you use waxy potatoes. Centuries ago, in rural France it was not common to own an oven, so women would take their potatoes to the baker to bake in the communal oven. You can use any onions for this recipe. I like to use the large sweet onions if I can find them. But regular brown or white onions are still great. You can use red onions but they don't melt into the bake as easily.Spread a layer on sauteed onion over the potatoes and sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper. Continue layering in this way, ending with a layer of potatoes. Step 3: Then you use the same pan you cooked the bacon in to CARAMELISE 2 whole onions in butter. I’ll leave you to imagine the flavour infusion! Mince the garlic if you’re including it and mix into softened butter. Soften the butter by placing it in microwave for 30 seconds form the fridge to soften. You can decide whether you want to peel the potatoes. If you aren't peeling them just ensure they are well washed before you peel them. Make sure you stream dry your potatoes after boiling by leaving them in the colander, on top of the pan you’ve just boiled them in, with a tea towel on top. This will give a fluffier result when you mash them.
