A comforting dish of layered potatoes, crispy bacon, and melted cheese, perfect for a cozy meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly using a knife or a mandoline.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside for later use.
In a frying pan, cook the bacon until it's crispy, then drain it on paper towels.
Grease a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
Layer half of the potato slices in the baking dish, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Spread half of the bacon and cheese over the potatoes.
Repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, bacon, and cheese.
Pour the heavy cream evenly over the top of the layers.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to brown the top.
Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious cheesy potato and bacon bake!
