Ingredients

  1. 2 packagesthick sliced bacon

  4. Salt & Pepper

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 350 F (170 C)

    Line a cast iron skillet with overlapping bacon as in this picture

  4. 4

    Add a layer of sliced potatoes,

  5. 5

    Sprinkle some salt and pepper then cover with Cheddar

  6. 6

    Repeat till you reach the top of the skillet (it's OK if you go about 1 - 1/2 inches higher than the edges) then fold the bacon over the top

  7. 7

    Bake for about 2 1/2 hours, removing the bacon fat as it renders. The bacon fat can be stored in the fridge for other yummy purposes (like oven roasted potatoes, or other vegetables, with bacon fat)
