Bob Hart's Cheesie Tater Cakes

Posted by: Bob Hart | 7 January, 2010 - 11:05 AM

This is a seriously unhealthy and wonderful dish to get to year off to a chubby start. It is my cheesie potato cakes with bacon, and they are an absolute disgrace. Enjoy!

I have absolutely no excuse for sharing this New Year recipe with you all. I am the first to admit that, by all standards relating to wholesome, responsible foods, this dish is a disgrace. But I love it. And if you are human, so will you. So try it – just don’t tell anybody. Happy New Year!

Grill a dozen thin rashers of your favourite bacon and put to one side, grate 200g compte (gruyere) cheese, and peel and then boil about 1kg of spuds. Let the spuds cool and set, and grate them, coarsely, into a bowl. Season and shape into patties, rather like potato hamburgers. You will end up with 6-8.

Melt a knob of butter with a glug or two of EV olive oil in a non-stick pan and carefully fry the cakes, three or four at a time, until they are golden on both sides. Use two spatulas to turn them, and try not to break them. When they are heated right through, lift from the pan and keep warm.

Return as many of the cooked potato cakes as you can to the pan, packed tightly together. Layer the bacon rashers over them and top with plenty of the grilled compte. Place in a hot oven or under a grill until the cheese melts. Eat. Tell nobody.

Bob Hart's BBQ pizza
