Hot Pot

My Mum used to make something she called (and we called, consequently) "Hot Pot". That recipe has been lost through the annals of time, but I remember that it used to contain layer of bacon and slices of potatoes and onions - and the whole thing was shoved into our OTG (Oven Toaster Grill) Oven and baked. It used to taste like the most delicious dish a kid has ever tasted. Seriously. The juicy bacon with the roasted potatoes and onions.... mmmmmm... was a pretty amazing dish. I want to thank my Mum for two things related to this - one is the dish itself. I have very fond, very delicious memories of it. Two, would be the style of "western" cooking. I picked up quickly on the fact that lightly roasting potatoes and onions give your dish a very nice-tasting Western flavour. I use that technique in many "creations" that I make inside the kitchen, most of which taste really nice. Thanks, Mum.
