Scalloped Potatoes and Bacon (Cream, Milk and Cheese)

Golden, cheesy potato slices topped with crispy bacon.

1 lb bacon, chopped (250 g)
5 lbs potatoes, peeled (2.5 kg)
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups milk
4 cloves garlic, grated
2 cups cheese, grated (200 g)

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C/170°C fan, Gas Mark 5) fan bake.

Fry the bacon over a gentle heat until crispy and brown. Set aside.

Thinly slice the potatoes with a sharp knife or mandolin.

Mix the cream, milk and garlic together with lots of salt and pepper.

Place a third of the potatoes in the base of a large ovenproof dish. Sprinkle a third of the cheese and bacon over the potatoes, then pour over a third of the creamy mix. Repeat until you have three layers.

Bake for 70-80 minutes until the potatoes are cooked and the top is golden.

Cook's Notes:  If the top is starting to get too brown in the oven, cover your baking dish with foil.
