Potato Bake

Another of my favs and definitely one of my go to recipes. Potato bake is an excellent meal for when you really can't be bothered. And that really can't be bother moment happened for me the other night, luckily I had a heap of freshly made cauliflower sauce in the fridge (see other post). So using my trusty food processor with slicing attachment this became a very easy meal. This meal made a LOT of food, great for us as we can't always be bothered to cook and enjoy left overs for lunch. If you'd like less just scale everything down by how much potato you use, i.e. half the potato half everything else.

Ingredients

1 kg of potato, we used the yellow flesh pink skin ones but any will work

1 zucchini

1 onion

3 cloves of garlic

Cauliflower sauce

sprinkling of cheese

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C. Slice the potato, zucchini and onion. I cheated and used the slicing attachment on my super doper food processor (mainly because I like the sound it makes when slicing "zooomp" as the veggies go down the spout.)

Crush / dice the garlic into little bits and combine all the veggies into a bowl. Place a light coat of cauliflower sauce in a pyrax and layer the veggie mix on top. Repeat the process until the pyrax is full / you run out of ingredients. If desired place a very fine layer of cheese on the top. This is not strictly needed but it does make a nice crust on the meal. Place in hot oven until cooked through. You'll know when everything is cooked because the potatoes will be soft, if not a bit crunchy  This will take a while (30 - 40 mins) so I suggest getting this meal on earlier rather than later. 

This made one big pyrax (dinner and lunch) and one smaller pyrax (dinner), all for the low low cost of a bag of potatoes (the cheapest ones they had), and some cauliflower. Meat could also be incorporated into this meal if required, I'd suggest boiled chicken (free-range, because well let's face it, it always tastes better) mixed through. Or just have something on the side. 

Happy Eating!
