Ingredients

• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 (8 ounce) packages Red Leicester cheese
• 1 (8 ounce) package unsmoked back bacon
• 2.25 pounds red potatoes, cubed
• 3.5 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut Red Leicester cheese into 1/2-inch cubes; set aside.

Step 3

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until almost cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until completely cooked but not too crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and roughly chop when cool enough to handle.

Step 5

Drain potatoes and then mash them roughly; you want a few lumps left in this. Add Red Leicester, chopped bacon, and lots of black pepper; stir to combine. Transfer to a large, deep, oven-proof dish and sprinkle grated Cheddar over top.
