Ingredients:
1 kg potatoes
200 g smoked bacon
200 g yellow cheese (e.g., cheddar or gouda)
200 ml heavy cream (30%)
2 garlic cloves
1 onion
1 tbsp butter
Salt, pepper, and Provençal herbs to taste
Instructions:
Prep the Ingredients:
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly. Dice the bacon and finely chop the onion. Press the garlic through a crusher. Grate the cheese using a coarse grater.
Sauté the Bacon and Onion:
Heat the butter in a skillet and fry the bacon until crispy. Add the onion and garlic, stirring until the onion becomes translucent.
Layer the Ingredients:
In a baking dish, layer the potatoes, bacon with onion and garlic, and grated cheese. Season each layer with salt, pepper, and Provençal herbs.
Add the Cream:
Pour the cream evenly over the layers for a creamy texture. Cover the dish with aluminum foil or a lid.
Bake:
Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 40 minutes. For the last 10 minutes, remove the foil to allow the cheese on top to brown nicely.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the potato casserole hot, garnished with fresh herbs such as chives or parsley. It’s delicious as a standalone dish but also pairs wonderfully with a light side salad.
