Ingredients:

3lb floury potatoes

Milk & butter to taste

Seasoning

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 200C, 180C fan, gas 5

Peel & boil potatoes until ready to mash

2. Mash the potatoes, add milk, butter, onion, bacon, 10oz grated cheese , seasoning and mix all together

3. Put this into a buttered oven-proof dish (I use a lasagne dish) & level, forking over for texture

Veggie variation: use mushrooms instead of bacon & fry them with the onions
