Easy 2 Potato Bake
(Caters for Family of 4 – Adjust as necessary for larger gatherings…bake the carbs, and they will come)
You will need:
- 4-5 Medium/Large Potatoes
- 1-2 White Sweet Potatoes
- 1 Small Onion diced
- 1/2 Cup Chicken Stock
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- Salt and Pepper
- 2 Cups of Grated cheddar
- Parmesan (to sprinkle – optional)
Pre-Heat your oven to 180deg centigrade
Peel potatoes and sweet potatoes and allow to stand in a bowl of water (so they don’t discolour) while you ready your oven dish.
Slice potatoes and sweet potatoes and layer them in any fashion in a shallow oven proof dish, whilst pausing to sprinkle diced onion in between.
Add your tsp of crushed garlic to your 1/2 cup of chicken stock, and pour over the assembled potatoes.
Season with salt and pepper as per your desired tastes.
Use your two cups of grated cheddar to sprinkle over the top, and add parmesan cheese if you’ve remembered to buy it, and could find some under a gazillion dollars in the shops.
Bake in your (did you remember to pre-heat the oven?) oven at 180 deg centrigrade for 40 mins until golden brown.
Hmmm, smell your yummy kitchen? Have the family gathered in anticipation yet?
Take a closer look, the onions should just be crispy, the potatoes will be soft, and you will have quickly and easily created the perfect accompaniment to any barbeque, braai or dinner.
If you have a house full of boys (as do I) then feel free to serve them this by itself. It has protein (the cheese and chicken stock), and 2 different kinds of vegetables (well potatoes and sweet potatoes are vegetables right?) and starch. I’d never claim that this dish is actually well balanced, or even healthy, but it’s definitely tasty enough to be requested more than once by hungry males.

YUM! I’m all about carbs (I could never do Atkins or South Beach even if I wanted to), so this looks awesome. But, I don’t think we have white sweet potatoes here in the States, or at least I’ve never seen them. We just have the orange variety. I wonder if those would do?
