Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 200 gramsPotatoes
  2. 100 gramsBacon
  3. 1/2Onion
  4. 400 mlMilk
  5. 3 tbspFlour
  6. 3 tbspButter (or margarine)
  7. 1 1/2cubes Soup stock cube - chop up with a knife
  8. 1 dashPepper
  9. 1Pizza cheese

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the onion into thin wedges. Thinly slice the bacon. Cut the potatoes into 5 mm slices, and boil until a skewer goes through easily.

  2. 2

    Heat the butter in a frying pan and stir fry the bacon. When the fat starts to come out of the bacon add the onion and stir fry.

  3. 3

    When the onion has wilted turn off the heat. Add all the flour, and mix well. Make sure to turn the heat off first.

  4. 4

    Mix for about 30 seconds with the heat still off, until it's no longer floury.

  5. 5

    Add the milk and mix well. Simmer over medium heat until the milk is thickened, add the soup cubes and pepper, and the bechamel sauce is done.

  6. 6

    Line a gratin dish with the cooked potatoes, and pour the bechamel sauce over it.

  7. 7

    Top with the pizza cheese, and bake in a preheated 250°C oven until the top has browned. (About 15 minutes.)

  8. 8

    It's dense and floury and creamy and delicious!
