Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Tbsp olive oil
6 slices thick bacon, cut into 2-inch strips
2 small onions, halved and cut into thin rings
10 baby potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
3 cups low-sodium beef stock (700ml)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
worcestershire sauce, to serve (optional)

Steps:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and onion rings, and cook about 6 to 7 minutes until the bacon is lightly browned and the onions are soft.
2. Layer the potato slices over the bacon and onions, and don't worry if the skillet seems crowded as the potatoes will reduce a bit after cooking a bit. Add stock to the skillet, and simmer until the potatoes are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and cooked through, stirring frequently to blend all the ingredients.
4. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with bread on the side.
5. Optional: A sprinkle or two of Worcestershire sauce can be floated on top of each serving, for added flavor.
