Ultimate Potato Gratin

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut bacon into small pieces and cook over medium heat in a large skillet until crispy.

While bacon is cooking, finely shred the cabbage.

When bacon is done, remove it from the pan and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

Remove about half the bacon fat from the pan and add the cabbage. Season with your preferred spices, to taste. Cook cabbage over medium heat until soft (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and add bacon to the cabbage mixture and set aside.

In a large bowl add sliced potatoes, heavy cream, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic and seasonings to taste. Mix to combine.

In an ovenproof casserole dish arrange a layer of half of the potatoes. Layer half of the the bacon/cabbage mixture on next. Add half of the remaining Parmesan cheese on top. Add another layer of potatoes and the remaining cabbage mixture over the top. Add the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours until potatoes are tender. Remove foil and bake for another few minutes, just until golden brown. Remove from oven and let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Eat and enjoy the compliments you get from your guests.
