Tartiflette

100 g of chopped bacon pieces

60 g of cornflour
spoon of butter
100 g of grated cheddar
2 onions
250 ml milk
500 g tin of new potatoes
4 cloves of garlic

Chop bacon pieces into small chunks.
Slice the onions into half moons.
Peel and squash (I do this on a chopping board with a fork) four garlic cloves.
Fry in a pan, the bacon has enough fat to not add any more.
Open a tin of potatoes and arrange in a baking dish.
Pour the bacon, onions and garlic over the top.
Gently stir around.
Make a cheese sauce in the microwave.
Place the butter in a microwave proof jug or bowl and microwave until melted.
Blend in the cornflour
Blend in the grated cheese.
Blend in the milk.
Place back in the microwave on full heat for five minutes - Half way through, take out and whisk any lumps away. Keep returning to the microwave/removing and whisking until you have the consistency you like. Feel free to add more cheese if you wish, but I find it expensive and try to use it as a flavouring.
Pour cheese sauce over the top and bake for 20 minutes - if it hasn't browned, put it back in for longer.
