Steps to make Tex's Mam's Scalloped Potatoes π·π²:
- Scallop the potatoes by slicing to about 9mm (β " on a mandolin) thick. Chop some of the smaller pieces so they'll beak down during cooking and thicken the gravy. Halve the onions, and slice to the same thickness.
- Take a stock pot and brown one side of the bacon in the oil. When you turn to brown the other side, add the onion and cook until softened
- Tip the potatoes in to the pan and add enough hot water to not quite cover (about 6mm/ΒΌ inch) below the surface of the potatoes
- Crumble in the stock cubes, and add the Worcestershire sauce and salt. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn down to a nice simmer
- Simmer the potatoes, bacon and onions for about 25-30 minutes, uncovered
- Check the taste and consistency of the potatoes and adjust if necessary, by cooking longer, or adding additional water. Stir well
- Reduce down until there's as little gravy left as possible. Drain some away if necessary first, so that you end up with small amount of concentrated flavoursome juice after reduction
- Remove from the heat and leave the pot to cool slowly, uncovered. This will allow the gravy time to slowly thicken as moisture evaporates leaving the starch behind.
- When ready to serve, season with salt and pepper. Reheat on the hob or in the microwave
- Serve with pickled red cabbage, pickled beetroot, and crusty bread
Parmesan, then again - finish with Parmesan which will brown up nicely - & milk just to the edge of the top layer. Scalloped Potatoes Gruyere is a new take on an old favorite.
