Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat 2 tsp oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the bacon for 5 mins until starting to crisp.
  2. Meanwhile, bring the stock to the boil in a large saucepan. Add the potatoes, onions and garlic, pushing them down to submerge. Return to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins. Drain the vegetables, reserving the stock.
  3. Layer the potatoes and onions in a large shallow baking dish (about 2.5ltr), scattering over the bacon, 1 tsp herbs and a little black pepper as you go. Pour over 300ml of the reserved stock.
  4. Mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining herbs and oil and scatter over the top. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 40 mins, removing the foil halfway.
  5. Just before the potato bake is ready, steam or boil the cabbage for 3-5 mins until tender; serve alongside.
  • Cook's tip: This dish will leave you with two handy leftover portions - heat them up for the next day's lunch!
