Potato Bake

Hi everyone, I hope you're well.

Here's an easy recipe I'd like to share...

Potato Bake


Grease an oven dish.


Slice one onion and some potatoes (do enough to feed your family... I did half a bag)


Layer the potatoes and onions ending in a potato layer.


Dot with butter and sprinkle with nutmeg. Pour over a small carton of cream (or milk if you're really thrifty) so you can see the cream but not to the top. Loosely cover with foil and bake for 1hr 30mins @  180oC or 1hr @ 200oC (I cooked a gammon for sandwiches at the same time so just turned the temperature down to suit the gammon) 20mins before the end, remove the foil to make the top layer crispy.  


As you can see, you may need to soak the oven dish!

We ate this with cold beef left over from our Sunday roast and peas.

The decorations are down

Well the Christmas decorations are down and packed away for another year. I haven't felt christmassy at all, when I normally love it. I'm actually glad it's over.

Today I have got my washing dry outside. I wouldn't normally dream of hanging out washing in January, but it's been so mild and windy, so it's been drying really well.

Tea today was cold beef and a lovely potato bake:

  • grease an ovenproof dish with butter
  • slice potatoes and an onion
  • layer potato and onion then repeat
  • pour over a pot of single cream (or milk)
  • sprinkle over some parsley and black pepper
  • dot with butter
  • bake for 1 hour @ 200 oC (you may need to cover with foil if the top gets too brown)
We had jelly and squirty cream for pudding.


I've got a really busy day ahead tomorrow. Steve, Ashley and Charlotte are back at work and I've got loads of housework to do.

An early start to look after Flo, so I'm off to sleep now. I always listen to my ipod because I have trouble getting off to sleep and music helps me. I will listen to Scritti Politti first then maybe The Communards or Alison Moyet or Pepsi and Shirlie. I LOVE my 80s music!!!

Night, night ...
