1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Wipe a heavy cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet with an oiled paper towel.

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.

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.
