Ingredients

  • pieces Butter, unsalted

  • 1.2 kg Potatoes, white

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 150 g Meat, pork, smoked bacon

  • 0.25 bouquet Parsley, fresh

  • 300 ml Sweet cream

  • 100 ml Milk, partially skimmed

  • 140 g Cheese, Parmesan, grated

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Peel, clean, wash, and slice the potatoes into thin slices, then toss them into a large bowl and lightly season with salt and pepper. Cut the bacon into thin slices, then chop into smaller pieces. Rinse the parsley under running water, shake it dry, and chop it finely.

  2. Grease a medium-sized deep baking dish with butter. Arrange a quarter of the potato slices in a single layer on the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle a third of the bacon pieces and some chopped parsley over the potatoes. Repeat the layering process and finish with a layer of potatoes.

  3. In a small pot, mix the cream and milk. Place the pot on the stove and heat the mixture until it boils, then pour it over the potatoes. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  4. After 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil and bake the potatoes uncovered for another 20 minutes. Take the dish out of the oven and sprinkle Parmesan over the potatoes. Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fully tender and the Parmesan is golden brown.

  5. Sprinkle the remaining parsley over the baked potatoes. Serve the dish directly from the baking dish in which it was prepared.

Instead of parsley, you can use rosemary, and Parmesan can be replaced with another cheese of your choice (edam, gouda, mozzarella, etc.).
