Serving: 4
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours 30 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 40 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 6 potatoes (these can be white or sweet potatoes or mixture)
  • 1 chorizo thinly sliced
  • 6 shortcut bacon slices cut into 6
  • 1/4 cup golden syrup
  • 1 tablespoon American mustard (or mustard to suit)
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Put slits all along your potatoes without cutting all the way through (see notes).
  • In every 2nd slit alternate between chorizo slices and bacon.
  • Place stuffed potatoes into slow cooker.
  • In a bowl mix golden syrup and mustard, taste and adjust to suit your likes.
  • Spoon syrup mixture over potatoes.
  • Season with salt & pepper.
  • Cook on high 2 1/2 hours basting every 30 minutes.
  • — Notes
  • Sit your potato between 2 wooden spoons when doing slits, this is your guide so you don't cut all the way.
  • The more slits you have the more flexible your potato will be.
  • Do not overload your potatoes to avoid breaking, this is why only every 2nd slit is used. Needs to be cooked on high to get the colour and for it to become sticky, you don't get same results cooking on low. Basting gives you the even colour.
  • Cooked in Breville 7L, times vary per slow cooker.

    Delicious and so easy, was able to cook in an oven bag in the same crock pot as my Porterhouse Ragout:-)

    So yummy. Only had bacon to stuff it with. The sauce was delicious, I didn’t have the correct amount of golden syrup so there wasn’t much sauce but we enjoyed what was there. Thank you Karen for sharing you recipe.😋
