NOTES
1. Potatoes - Use waxy potatoes such as Red Adirondack, French fingerling, and Red Bliss. Cut them into cubes, cook them in boiling water for 10 minutes, and rinse. Or use store-bought potato cubes. They are already pre-cooked, so you can skip that step.
2. Bacon - You can also replace them with fried mushrooms or extra sun-dried tomatoes for a vegetarian recipe.
3. Thyme - You can also replace thyme with rosemary.
4. Ground beef - Ground beef (minced beef) has a lot of flavor and fits well in this oven dish. But you can also opt for chicken or minced lamb.
5. Raisins - Let them soak overnight, or soak them for 15 minutes in hot water and drain. That way, they won't burn.
