Swiss & Bacon Potato Casserole
Swiss & Bacon Potato Casserole
Sounds great, lot of options here as well. I made this on 5 Oct 2017, and certainly a Go-To potato dish now! The family and I loved this.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo potatoes, thinly sliced, peeled or unpeeled up to you
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 1/2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 6-8 slices bacon, chopped, cooked crispy
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F). Grease a 8x8 baking dish with butter.
- Thee potatoes sliced with a mandolin.
- Onion diced, cheese shredded (I use blocks and shred myself), bacon cooked and chopped, and the flour.
- Mix together the onion, cheese, bacon, flour, then season as desired with salt and pepper.
- Spread 1/3 of the potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish, then spread 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the potatoes. Repeat the layers two more times, cheese mixture will be last.
- Mix together the cream and milk and pour over the top of the casserole.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, serve.
Notes
Figure about 180 Baht for the cheese, and the bacon, can get that for around 100 Baht. For 6 side dish servings, this is about $1.37 per serving, not a cheap side dish but sounds really good with the Swiss cheese, good for a once in a while side dish for sure.
Variants: 1. Change the bacon to cubed ham or cooked and diced chicken. 2. Add diced green bell pepper, change the onion to chopped spring onion.

I made this as stated but used a bit more cheese as I like Swiss cheese. I did not have foil so just baked uncovered, which worked well, the potatoes, even though cut very thin with a mandolin, still firm and not soggy or mush. Perfect flavor, the Swiss cheese, although I was a little heavy handed with it, is not over powering. The cream, milk, and cheese, perfect blend. Highly recommended.
