It's about time to try some classic potato bacon gratin on the menu and make it more diverse and flavorsome. Serve warm with your favorite cheese on top.

Ingredients (4 servings)

4 bacon rashers, chopped

1 large rutabaga, peeled and sliced

4 large potatoes, sliced

1 brown onion, sliced

1 garlic clove, sliced

6 thyme sprigs

2 teaspoons rosemary, chopped

1 ½ cups thickened cream

1/2 cup chicken stock

1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Thyme sprigs, extra, to serve

Preparation

At 320 degrees F, preheat your oven. Grease an ovenproof dish. Cook and sauté the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes until golden. Layer the potato, rutabaga, onion, thyme, garlic, rosemary, and bacon in the prepared dish. Mix the cream with the stock in a small bowl. Pour evenly over the potato layer. Bake for 1 hour until the potato and the rutabaga are soft, and the gratin is golden. Drizzle cheddar on top and bake for 15 minutes until golden. Slice and serve.
