Leave the bacon out if you want this amazingly easy dish vegetarian. I did add an Italian twist of smoked scamorza cheese though! I made enough for four as a second course but double up if you want it as a main meal #seasonalcooking #potatoes #dinner #mainmeal

When you have finished all ingredients, add stock, just enough to cover the potatoes. Pop in the oven for about 40 mins. Meanwhile, in the same pan as you cooked the leeks, add some chopped bacon. Fry until crisp, then break up the bread and add to the bacon

Cook for a few minutes until browned, set a side. After 40 mins, test the potatoes with a cocktail stick, they should be soft. Now add the bacon crumb on top and pop back in the oven for another 10 mins. Leave to rest for 10 mins before serving
