Bacon Potato Cheddar Tart image

Mmmmm... bacon! This is a recipe from Chef Michael Smith that someone posted on Facebook. Once I saw it, I knew I had to make it! One piece of advice - go light on the salt because the bacon and cheddar both have plenty.

Time 2h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs bacon
5 -6 large baking potatoes
4 cups cheddar cheese
1 sheet parchment paper
2 tablespoons pepper
1 onion, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix the minced onions and garlic together.
  • Get a skillet (all metal, no rubber or plastic handles) or pie dish.
  • Coat the cooking area of the skillet with cooking spray.
  • Cut the parchment paper into a circle that covers the cooking area of the skillet, and place it in side the skillet.
  • Start lining the center of the skillet with a layer of bacon in a fan pattern, with one end of the bacon at the center and the other end hangs over the end of the skill. Each slice should overlap about a 3rd to half of the width of a bacon slice. Take care to stagger the bacon at the center so you don't end up with a very thick layer of bacon in the center of the pan.
  • Slice your potatoes in about 1/4 inch thick slices.
  • After the skillet is completely covered with bacon, start adding potato slices in layers inside the skillet on top of the bacon, creating a layer of potato on top of the bacon.
  • After completely adding a layer of potato that covers the bottom of the skillet, sprinkle some pepper, onions/garlic mixture, and a generous portion of cheddar on top of each layer.
  • Repeat the previous 2 steps until the potato & cheese layers are stacked about 1 inch above the top of the skillet.
  • Fold all of the bacon stips on top of the stack of potato until the top layer is completely covered.
  • Place a small, metal skillet or pot cover on top of the tart to hold the bacon in place during baking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
