A creamy blend of stock and cream cheese adds a velvety touch, while a generous sprinkling of Parmesan on top delivers a golden, cheesy finish. Perfect for a standalone meal or paired with your favourite protein.

Instructions-

1. Finely slice the potatoes and onions, leaving them aside in bowls.

2. Finely dice the bacon and grate the Parmesan.

3. When layering into a baking tray, aim for even distribution. You will have three layers, using a third of each ingredient in each layer.

4. Start with sliced onions, followed by bacon, then potatoes. Repeat this twice more, pressing down each layer to make it as level as possible.

5. Prepare the stock and add the cream cheese. Mix well and pour over the potato tray bake.

6. Bake at 150°C for 2 hours, covered in foil.

7. 30 minutes before it's done, remove from the oven. Using baking parchment, flatten the potato bake with your hand and a tea towel. Remove the paper and add the grated Parmesan.

8. Bake for an additional 30 minutes without foil to brown the top.

9. Serve with your choice of protein or enjoy on its own.

Note: You can pair it with garlic-butter chicken, salmon, steak, or your favourite roast dinner.
