Main Ingredients
- 2 potatoes (approx. 170g)
- 3 strips of bacon
- 1/2 onion
- 2 Tbsp canned corn
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese
Seasoning & Others
- 1/3 tsp sea salt (or regular salt)
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1/3 tsp sea salt (or regular salt)
- 2 Tbsp milk
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, peel them, and then slice them thinly, about 0.5 cm thick. Slicing them thinly will reduce the microwave cooking time. Place the sliced potatoes in a microwave-safe dish, add 50ml of water, and microwave for 5 minutes. The potatoes should become tender.
Step 2
While the potatoes are still hot from the microwave, mash them using a potato masher or a fork. Mashing them while warm ensures a smoother consistency. To make the potatoes even softer and more moist, add 2 tablespoons of milk and mix well. This will create a consistency similar to a smooth puree.
Step 3
Dice the bacon into approximately 1cm pieces and finely chop the peeled onion. Finely chopping ensures they blend well with the potatoes for a better texture.
Step 4
Place the diced bacon in a dry pan over medium-low heat and cook until lightly browned. Once the bacon releases its fat, add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, using the rendered bacon fat. The savory flavor of the bacon will harmonize beautifully with the sweetness of the onion.
Step 5
Add the cooked bacon and onion to the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle in 1/3 tsp of sea salt (you can also add a pinch of black pepper to your liking). Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. It’s important to mix evenly so that the flavors of the potatoes, bacon, and onions meld together.
Step 6
Transfer the potato mixture into a microwave-safe container or an oven-safe dish. Generously sprinkle 2/3 cup of mozzarella cheese over the mixture, followed by the 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top. Using plenty of cheese will result in a richer and more delicious roasted potato. Microwave for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Step 7
Your irresistible roasted potatoes are ready! With savory and chewy cheese perfectly melted over tender potatoes, this is a truly appealing dish. It tastes even better when enjoyed warm! Enjoy your simple yet special homemade roasted potatoes!
