Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 8 slices Bacon
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Chop the bacon into small pieces and cook in a Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the Dutch oven.
Thinly slice the onion. In the Dutch oven, sauté the sliced onion in the reserved bacon grease until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove the onion-garlic mixture and set it aside.
Add the butter and olive oil to the Dutch oven and let it melt over medium heat. Remove from heat momentarily.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the Dutch oven. Sprinkle with half of the cooked bacon, half of the onion-garlic mixture, half of the shredded cheese, half of the chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients, ending with the shredded cheese on top.
Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the top slightly.
Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
