Put this through your food processer shredding blade:
2 pounds new potatoes: Yukon Gold and Baby Reds.
One Monster sized Zucchini
1-2 small onions
A head of Garlic
A pint of grape tomatoes
One strip of bacon slightly cooked
About 6 ounces of two types of cheese (farmer and sharp cheddar are good)
Then, mix it all together and add in 1 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Special spice blend, equal parts of everything, probably amounts to 1 1/2 tablespoons:
Garlic powder, Onion Powder, Chili Powder, Cumin, Turmeric, and a dash of cinnamon, what the heck, why not?
Lay 3-4 strips of bacon across the top, reserving some of the previously chopped cheese, and sprinkle that over the bacon.
Now, bake at 400 degrees, and wait an hour or so.
What do you have? A really unique dish. It's a great combination of textures and tastes, the zucchini imparts a crunchy and fresh flavor, the potatoes ground the dish, and the tomatoes come along and put some zing on your tastebuds. The bacon balances the green taste, and the cilantro hits yet another taste bud. The spices keep the potatoes from boring you. The bacon speaks for itself.
The top gets really brown. Maybe you wait until a half an hour and then add the bacon. I put it all together and didn't think much of it.
A truly delicious surprise.
