Ingredients
- 8 smoked streaky bacon rashers
- 4 large potatoes, roughly chopped, skin on
- 3 leeks, sliced
- 2 tbsp dried mixed herbs
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp oil
- Salt and pepper
- 1.1l chicken stock
Method
1. Cut up the bacon and briefly pan-fry in 1 tbsp of oil over a medium heat until golden.
2. Add the bacon to the slow cooker with all the other ingredients and some salt and pepper. Cook on high for 2 - 3 hours or low for 5 - 6 hours.
3. Do not blitz, simply serve in bowls and enjoy with some crusty bread and butter, if liked. You can add some cream if you have some spare or that needs using. You could add a little chopped fresh dill as a garnish, too.
