Bacon Cheddar Potato Tart (Michael Smith) image

This recipe is by a Canadian chef who I really like - Michael Smith. It contains only 3 ingredients (plus S & P!) and it's gorgeous to look at! Easy to make and would be great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It's not the healthiest thing to eat - it's just good ol' comfort food. It takes a long time to cook, so plan ahead. Enjoy!

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 baking potatoes, sliced one quarter inch thick
1 lb bacon, thickly sliced
1 lb cheddar cheese, grated (orange coloured)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Line a 6-inch non-stick fry pan with bacon slices, arranging them in a radial pattern and starting with one end of bacon in the centre of the pan and the other end draped over the edge. When the entire surface of the pan has been covered, sprinkle with pepper and add a layer of sliced potatoes to cover the bottom. Sprinkle with grated cheese, salt and pepper and repeat layers until they are slightly above the top of the pan.
  • Fold the bacon, one slice at a time up and over the potato mound toward the centre. Carefully overlap each slice and repeat until the top is completely and neatly covered with bacon. Press down and cover with a lid.
  • Place tart on a baking sheet, which will catch any drips during cooking. Bake for 3 hours. It has to cook low and slow so the potatoes cook and the bacon doesn't burn. The lid will eventually come down and sit on the pan as the food cooks.
  • Turn pan over and invert tart onto a serving plate. Cut into 6 slices.

CRISPY OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (MICHAEL SMITH)



Crispy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (Michael Smith) image

Another recipe from one of my favourite Canadian chefs, Michael Smith. He likes to rely on the senses and intuition instead of following a recipe. BUT this recipe the way it is written, is terrific! I'm sure that these would be less crispy if cooked for less time, but they are perfect the way they are. The molasses and vanilla add the best flavour! These have a nice light crunch, perfect for dipping in a glass of cold milk. Enjoy!

Categories     Chocolate Chip Cookies

Time 25m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla (real vanilla is wonderful in this!)
1 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Cream the butter, sugar and molasses together in a stand mixer. Beat until well combined and 'creamy'. If you don't have a stand mixer beat vigorously by hand in a large mixing bowl. Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and continue beating until well combined.
  • Meanwhile whisk the flour, oats, salt, baking powder and salt together in a separate bowl.
  • Gradually add the flour mix to the wet mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand.
  • Using a tablespoon scoop out a ball of the dough and drop onto a lightly greased cookie tray. Flatten slightly. Repeat, leaving lots of room in between the balls for the cookies to expand. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool for ten minutes then remove from the tray and try to eat only one!

POTATO CAKES (MICHAEL SMITH)

I saw him make this recipe on his show Chef at Home (Food Network Canada). I use a non stick frying pan for this, so I'm able to fry with minimal fat. In this case I used vegetable oil instead of the bacon fat. Prep time does not include cooling time.
