My husbands favourite accompaniment to a BBQ is good creamy potato bake and I must admit I do love it too!
Slice potato thin to ensure it cooks well. Layer half the potato into a baking dish, sprinkle over onion and bacon pieces.
Layer with remaining potato slices. Mix cream, milk and stock powder in bowl, pour over potato bake, then sprinkle with grated cheese.
I may have left our potato bake in the oven a tad too long, but it still tasted delicious!

I’m such a fiend for potato bake! I usually make a small one because I can’t be trusted around it 😉
LOL I know what you mean, now my kids eat more we never have potato bake left overs 🙁
It’s pretty hard to beat a potato bake! I have tried over and over and can never beat my Mum’s. Next I’m going to try your recipe… I think it just may knock Mum off the potato bake queen perch!
ooh we really love potato bake Lucy, a friend of ours husband makes the best one. It had sweet potato in it too, I may just have to see if he doesn’t mind sharing his recipe.
I use carnation milk for lower fat
Great idea, Colleen.:)
Will this work out okay using lactose free light thickened cream and lactose free low fat milk?
I haven’t tried it sorry Rebecca, but if you try it let me know! I can’t imagine it would make much of a difference if they’re the same consistency as regular milk and cream 🙂
