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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the butter and olive oil to the Dutch oven and let it melt over medium heat. Remove from heat momentarily.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients, ending with the shredded cheese on top.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the lid and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the top slightly.

Step 9

Remove the Dutch oven from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
