Scalloped Kumara And Potato Bake With Bacon And Rosemary
I love this recipe because it's just so yummy. Very hearty, warm and rich redolent flavours. I get bored to death with potatoes and was searching for something new to make. Flipping through my books, I thought would be nice to do a scallop something? but wanted to spice it up a bit. I have served this over and over to my husband and we still LOVE it and I have served it over and over to friends and always get rave reviews.

Ingredients
- 4 potatoes approx. (medium size)
- 3 orange kumara (medium size – 2 if they are big)
- 3 rashers of bacon – med well done and finely chopped
- 3 tbls approx. fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 cup approx. cream
- Salt and Pepper
- Green Herb Stock
- 2 tbls approx. Butter
Directions
- I use an oval baking dish which is approx. 28cm (11in) long by 19cm (7 1/2in) wide and about 5.5cm (2 ¼ in) high. But a round or rectangular dish would be good too. Grease bottom and sides of dish with butter.
- Peel and cut potatoes and kumara in half and parboil until just soft.
- Fry bacon til slightly crispy. Drain and chop finely.
- Finely chop rosemary.
- Let potatoes and kumara drain and cool slightly, for easier handling.
- Cut potatoes into thin slices and put a layer of slightly overlapping potatoes on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Sprinkle on some salt and pepper, bacon bits and rosemary.
- Then pour on a generous amount of cream - about a third of a cup, so it is nicely covering the potatoes.
- Do the next layer with kumara. And again the bacon, rosemary, salt and pepper and then cream.
- The final layer is potato with rosemary, salt and pepper, any bacon that is left.
- Pour on cream, brush with melted butter, then sprinkle green herb stock evenly across the surface.
- Bake in the oven on 175 fan forced or about 190 regular oven for 1 hour.
