Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes Sliced thinly
- 2 medium Onions Caramelized
- 6 slices Bacon Cooked until crispy
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese Grated
- 2 tablespoons Butter For greasing the baking dish
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, caramelize the onions until golden brown.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and layer half of them in a greased baking dish.
Layering
- Sprinkle half of the caramelized onions and half of the crumbled bacon over the potatoes.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, and bacon.
Final Assembly and Baking
- In a separate bowl, mix heavy cream with salt and pepper, then pour over the layered potatoes.
- Top with grated gruyère cheese.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Slice potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate. Don’t rush the onions — low heat makes them sweet and soft. Use a sharp grater for the gruyère so it melts well.
