Old Rotten Potatoes

Garnet Winddancer

Actually, a variation of au gratin potatoes but when Spike was small, he overheard us planning a meal and said "Ooooh, Mama, I don't want any Old Rotten Potatoes!" This is why we also eat Smashed Potatoes, Cotton Cheese, and Roast Beast. Unlike baking, I rarely measure anything when cooking but I'll try to be exact.

• About 6 potatoes, medium sized
• 1 lb. of bacon, fried & crumbled
• 1 onion, diced
• 2-4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 C. shredded Cheddar or Colby cheese
• S&P to taste

Preheat oven to 375. Wash and slice potatoes into circles. Layer potatoes, sprinkle with S&P, add a few cloves of minced garlic, some onion, some bacon and some cheese. Continue to layer, topping with the cheese. I usually have two layers. Note of caution, if you are expecting guests, use a bigger baking dish and double the above recipe. Trust me! Cover loosely with aluminium foil so the top layer of cheese doesn't burn and place in oven for about 45 minutes. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, remove foil so the cheese can brown. Serve with sour cream. This is a great side dish with anything but is perfect for holiday ham. Adding chopped spinach to the layers is also very tasty.
