• 1 kg potatoes, washed and sliced thinly
• 200g bacon, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup chopped chives
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 350F 182C

Prepare a baking dish by greasing it

Cook bacon in a pan until it gets crispy

Take it off and let it dry on paper towels

Add the onion and garlic to the same pan and cook them until they get soft

Half of the sliced potatoes should be put in the baking dish

Add pepper and salt

On top of the potatoes, put half of the cooked bacon, onion, garlic, and cheddar cheese

Add more layers of potatoes, bacon, onion, garlic, and cheese each time

Spread sour cream on top of the cheese and top with chopped chives

Put foil over it and bake for 45 minutes

Take off the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and the top is bubbly and golden

Serve hot, and if you want, top with extra chives
