Reply With Quotepotato tart
5-6 medium to large potatos
2 sheets short crust pastry
tasty cheese (or the pre-mixed pizza cheese, have also used feta as well)
3 rashers bacon, diced (woolies/coles has diced bacon will only need 250g if you get this instead)
tomatoes (i usually use cherry/grape tomatoes, but whatever you got)
how to:
set oven to 180*c
1: peel potatoes and put in pot of cold water and bring to boil and boil potatoes. potatoes will be cooked when you stick a knife and it goes in easily.
2: while potatoes are cooking, dice bacon and dice tomatoes (or halve if your using the cherry/grape tomatoes)
3: once potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool.
4: while potatoes are cooling fry bacon and tomatoes. you could also add onion to the mix if you wish.
5: get 2 sheets of short crust pastry out of freezer and allow to thaw slightly
6: now take cheese and liberally spread cheese in line down the centre of both sheets
7: once tomatoes and bacon cooked, take a couple of spoon fulls and place in the centre of the pastry over the top of the cheese
8: take cooked potatoes and slice in to peices roughly 1cm thick (no need to be too accurate, just dont jam half a tatey in there)
9: place sliced potato over top of cheese, bacon and tomato.
10: add cheese, then bacon and tomatoes on top of potatoes. then more sliced potatoes on top.
11: by now you should have 2 mounds of potato, cheese, bacon and tomatoes.
12: take long edges of pastry and fold up over the sides of mounds, pastry will stretch a little bit so be careful not to rip it
13: once all folded up, added more cheese over the exposed top and sides. try to keep most of it on the top.
14: place in oven for 10-20 (depends on oven) or until golden brown.
cut up and eat!
if you a gentleman of the larger pants, a 3/4 serve for you is genreally enough. for your lady either the remaining 1/4 or a half of the second one will be more than enough. also works well reheated a couple of days later!
