Ingredients

6-10 potatoes depending on size
300ml cream
1/2 cup milk
chicken noodle or french onion packet soup mix
1-2 tbs Dijon mustard
1/2 onion–thinly sliced
a handful of diced bacon (optional)
grated cheese

Method

Thinly slice potatoes. Layer potatoes in a microwave dish that has a lid, adding bacon and onion between layers.
Combined cream, milk, soup mix and mustard together. Pour over potatoes. The cream mix should cover potatoes but, not be swimming in it. Reduce if required. Need more? Add extra milk. Cover with grated cheese.
Cook for 15 minutes with the lid on. Check to see if potatoes are soft. Continue to cook in 5 minutes intervals checking softness until done.
Depending on your microwave this will take between 20-35 minutes.
