BACON CHEDDAR POTATO TART (MICHAEL SMITH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• Line a 6-inch non-stick fry pan with bacon slices, arranging them in a radial pattern and starting with one end of bacon in the centre of the pan and the other end draped over the edge. When the entire surface of the pan has been covered, sprinkle with pepper and add a layer of sliced potatoes to cover the bottom. Sprinkle with grated cheese, salt and pepper and repeat layers until they are slightly above the top of the pan.
• Fold the bacon, one slice at a time up and over the potato mound toward the centre. Carefully overlap each slice and repeat until the top is completely and neatly covered with bacon. Press down and cover with a lid.
• Place tart on a baking sheet, which will catch any drips during cooking. Bake for 3 hours. It has to cook low and slow so the potatoes cook and the bacon doesn't burn. The lid will eventually come down and sit on the pan as the food cooks.
• Turn pan over and invert tart onto a serving plate. Cut into 6 slices.

BACON POTATO CHEDDAR TART

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix the minced onions and garlic together.
• Get a skillet (all metal, no rubber or plastic handles) or pie dish.
• Coat the cooking area of the skillet with cooking spray.
• Cut the parchment paper into a circle that covers the cooking area of the skillet, and place it in side the skillet.
• Start lining the center of the skillet with a layer of bacon in a fan pattern, with one end of the bacon at the center and the other end hangs over the end of the skill. Each slice should overlap about a 3rd to half of the width of a bacon slice. Take care to stagger the bacon at the center so you don't end up with a very thick layer of bacon in the center of the pan.
• Slice your potatoes in about 1/4 inch thick slices.
• After the skillet is completely covered with bacon, start adding potato slices in layers inside the skillet on top of the bacon, creating a layer of potato on top of the bacon.
• After completely adding a layer of potato that covers the bottom of the skillet, sprinkle some pepper, onions/garlic mixture, and a generous portion of cheddar on top of each layer.
• Repeat the previous 2 steps until the potato & cheese layers are stacked about 1 inch above the top of the skillet.
• Fold all of the bacon stips on top of the stack of potato until the top layer is completely covered.
• Place a small, metal skillet or pot cover on top of the tart to hold the bacon in place during baking.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

• Coat an 8 inch round baking dish with the butter. Arrange bacon in a spiral fashion in the baking dish, draping ends of the slices over the pan edge to fold over filling.
• Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes over bacon, and sprinkle with 1/3 Fontina cheese. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Fold bacon over filling to form the upper layer.
• Bake uncovered in the preheated oven 1 hour, or until potatoes are tender. Drain any drippings, and cut into wedges to serve.

POTATO-ONION-BACON SLAB PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line 15x10-inch pan with cooking parchment paper. In medium saucepan, place potatoes and enough water to cover. Heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 5 to 8 minutes or just until tender; drain well.
• Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Reserve 1 to 2 tablespoons drippings in skillet. Add sweet onions; cook over medium heat about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned.
• Remove dough sheet from can; unroll in pan. Gently stretch or roll dough to 14x8-inch rectangle. Leaving 2-inch border around edges, layer potatoes, sweet onions, bacon, 1/2 cup of the cheese and the green onions on dough. Fold up sides of dough to partially enclose filling, pleating as necessary and pressing to seal.
