English Translation

This is a very traditional dish that can be served as a starter, a side dish even a main meal. At one time this was very much a staple of the Welsh diet when every smallholding had a potato patch and a pig.

Ingredients:

20 small white potatoes
6 slices of bacon
275ml chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
1 onion, finely chopped
salt and black pepper, to taste

Method:

Begin by finely slicing the potatoes. Then in a pan brown the bacon before setting the rashers aside. Add the stock, onions and the potatoes to the pan and simmer until the potato slices are just tender (about 8 minutes). Season with the salt and pepper then layer the bacon on top of the potatoes to re-heat them. Plate-out the potatoes and add the bacon before serving.
