How to Make Potatoes With Garlic And Cheese Pommes De Terre A L Ail

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Wipe a heavy cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet with an oiled paper towel.
  2. Cook bacon in the skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
  3. Add olive oil to the skillet. Add a layer of potatoes, overlapping slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the cheese.
  5. Repeat layers of potatoes and cheese until all potatoes and cheese are used, ending with a cheese layer.
  6. Sprinkle the top with minced garlic and parsley.
  7. Scatter the reserved crispy bacon bits over the top.
  8. Cover the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven, pour heavy cream evenly over the potatoes.
  11. Return to oven, uncovered, and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  12. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve the gratin directly from the skillet or carefully transfer to a serving dish.
