Ingredients

  • 250 grams baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crisped and shredded
  • 115 grams button mushrooms, minced
  • 120 grams cheddar cheese spread (like Chiz Whiz)
  • 1 medium garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 1/2 tsp sage
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin

Method

  • Pre cook the potatoes by boiling it.
  • Do not overcook.
  • It's done when you are able to stick a fork in without it becoming mushy.
  • (You dont want mashed potatoes!).
  • Remove the potatoes from the water but don't overly drain.
  • It's ok if they're a little wet for the cheese spread later.
  • Saute garlic and onion in olive oil.
  • Once it starts to get aromatic, add in the potatoes and mix well.
  • Add the mushroom, bacon, and cheese spread.
  • Mix thoroughly.
  • The cheese spread will mix with the water from the potatoes and thin out.
  • Add in salt, pepper, garlic powder and sage.
  • Saute a bit further for 2 minutes or once the cheese has reduced a bit.
  • In the last minute, add in some parsley.
  • Serve hot.
  • Top with more parsley if preferred.
  • Can be eaten on its own or as a side to burger patties!
