POTATO SIDE DISH

POTATO SIDE DISH

Serves 4 

(Nearly the same as the other but with a touch of garlic).

Approx. 2.5 Syns per serving (definitely worth the Syns!)

750g red potatoes, thinly sliced
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
15g butter - 5 Syns (slightly over-Synned but better be safe than sorry)
1 large clove of garlic, crushed
1 tbsp. olive oil - 6 Syns
1 tsp. dried oregano
100g smoked bacon, all visible fat removed and cut into bite-sized pieces

Pre-heat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.
Layer the potatoes and onion slices in a baking dish.
Soften the butter and mix the crushed garlic through, until evenly mixed.
Add the garlic butter, oregano and olive oil and toss everything together until well combined.
Bake for 45 minutes, adding the bacon pieces after 25 minutes cooking time.
Remove from oven when the potatoes are tender and the top is golden.

Sometimes, if I have one available, I add the juice of one lemon, along with the butter and oil mixture. However, it tastes good either way.
