Roast Kipfler Potatoes with Caramelised Onions, Bacon and Washed Rind Cheese
Nutty kipfler potatoes with bacon and sage are smothered with earthy washed rind cheese to create a potato bake with a difference.
Serves:
6
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 red onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 kg kipfler or pontiac potatoes
- 1/2 cup cream
- 150g streaky bacon, cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves
- 250g washed rind cheese, sliced
Method
Heat oil and cook onions over medium-low heat for 5 minutes until softened. Add brown sugar, season to taste and cook a further 5-10 minutes until caramelized. Cut potatoes in half and place in a roasting dish with caramelized onions. Pour over cream, season to taste and roast at 200°C for 30 minutes until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a non-stick bacon until very crisp and drain on absorbent paper. Sprinkle potatoes with half the bacon and sage and top with slices of washed rind cheese. Roast for a further 10-15 minutes until cheese has melted and potatoes are golden. Serve garnished with remaining bacon and sage leaves and sprinkled with pepper.
