With just 4 ingredients you can make these crispy, crunchy golden delights. These would have to be some of the fastest potatoes to throw together and there is no need to peel.

Quiche Lorraine and potato bake are two of my all time favourite foods. So, I thought to myself, why not combine the two for a match made in heaven? The creamy egg mixture is delectable on its own but when paired with the salty bits of bacon there’s an explosion of flavour that the soft potatoes soak up. Use a waxy potato (such as desiree or other red variety) as a floury potato won’t hold its shape as well. A mandolin makes quick work of slicing the potatoes, but a good sharp knife is fine. If time isn’t a concern, you can make this in a baking dish as well, it might just take a touch longer to reach that gorgeous, golden, crispy finish as the cheese melts in the oven.
