BAKED POTATO SLICES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and place rack in the middle of the oven. In a medium bowl, combine the potatoes, olive oil, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and toss until well coated.

THE BAKED POTATO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and position racks in top and bottom thirds. Wash potato (or potatoes) thoroughly with a stiff brush and cold running water. Dry, then using a standard fork poke 8 to 12 deep holes all over the spud so that moisture can escape during cooking. Place in a bowl and coat lightly with oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and place potato directly on rack in middle of oven. Place a baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any drippings.
• Bake 1 hour or until skin feels crisp but flesh beneath feels soft. Serve by creating a dotted line from end to end with your fork, then crack the spud open by squeezing the ends towards one another. It will pop right open. But watch out, there will be some steam. Add toppings if using.

POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Heat over to 180 Degrees Celcius first.
• Peel and slice potatoes along the their length (about 3 mm thick) either on a vegetable slicer or with a knife.
• Dice bacon and onion into small pieces. Not too fine though.
• Layer potato into a oven proof dish (I use a pyrex one, 35cmx22cmx5cm).
• Sprinkle part of the bacon and onion over the potatoes.
• Repeat layers until the last of the bacon and onion are used on top, making sure that it is not filled too high as the cheese needs to cover the potato in the dish.
• Pour in cream until it is approx half way up the side of the potato bake. Make sure that the top layer is NOT swimming in cream.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Sprinkle cheese over top, achieving a nice even layer.
• Place in oven on middle shelf and cook for approximately 1 hour, until potatoes can be pierced with a fork easily and the cheese is a beautiful golden colour.
• This will definitely have them coming back for seconds!
