Potato bake is quite possibly the best comfort food on the face of the earth, and everybody does it differently. My hubby likes his with bacon, but I can't stand bacon, so we reached an agreeable compromise!

Everyone loves potato bake, from the kids to the grandparents, you just cant go wrong with this classic. Goes just as great with a roast as it does a barbecue lunch, and the great thing is you can twist it any way you like. Don't be afraid to experiment!
