Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and grease a large baking dish. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and season well. Cook until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   In a large bowl gently combine the potatoes with the onion, bacon and a little more seasoning. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish and press it down, pouring over the broth.

3. 3

   Bake in the centre of the oven for 1 hour 45 minutes, covering the potatoes after an hour so they don’t burn. When the dish is done, a knife should slide through the potatoes easily.
