Crossed Potatoes with Bacon and Broccoli
- 454 g (1 lb) baking potatoes, peeled
- 140 g (5 oz) bacon
- 240 g (8 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
- 75 g (2.5 oz) broccoli florets
- 5 g (1 tsp) salt
- 2.4 g (1 tsp) paprika powder
1. Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F).
2. Steam the broccoli until tender, about 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
3. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
4. Use a potato masher to gently flatten each potato.
5. Sprinkle salt and half of the paprika powder evenly over the potatoes.
6. Bake them in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
7. While the potatoes bake, mix the remaining paprika powder with half of the shredded cheese.
8. Take the potatoes out of the oven and top each with a bit of broccoli, a dollop of the paprika-cheese mixture, and a sprinkle of extra shredded cheese.
9. Return the potatoes to the oven for another 5 minutes.
10. In the meantime, fry the bacon in a pan until crispy. Be careful when frying bacon to avoid hot grease splatters.
11. When ready, serve each potato topped with the rest of the paprika-cheese mixture and pieces of crispy bacon.
