Potato Bake -
extremely simple and cheap - even if you've never
cooked before you should manage this one!
Ingredients:
6 or 7
medium sized potatoes, peeled
1 large can
of baked beans in tomato sauce (approx 800g - you
could use 2 standard size tins instead)
1 large
onion, thinly sliced
2 or 3
sliced tomatoes
1
tablespoon of margarine for dotting over the top
1
tablespoon of sesame seeds for sprinkling on the
top
other
optional layers:
1 or 2 cups
of left-over rice mixed with some soya milk and
herbs
sliced
mushrooms mixed with a little veg. oil and 2
cloves of crushed garlic
1 can of
sweetcorn
1 can of
spinach
Part-boil
the potatoes for 5 or 6 minutes until starting to
soften. Thinly slice them. In a large casserole
or lasagne dish place a layer of potatoes then a
layer of beans, then onion and repeat until all
used up. That is the basic dish but you can add
any other layers you like (experiment! Any tins
lurking in the cupboard?), such as the garlic
mushrooms, sweetcorn, spinach or rice ones above,
making the last layer potatoes. Spread the sliced
tomatoes over the top, dot with the marg. and
sprinkle on the sesame seeds. Bake for about an
hour or until the potatoes are soft at 190C/380F.
