This is basically the base for mine.
The differences are that I crisp 6 strips of bacon and chop them up, so I can sprinkle some for each layer. Also I thinly slice a medium size onion (I like sweet yellows, but whatever you like; whites work well also) and scatter them between every other layer. Also lightly brown some minced garlic (about 6-8 cloves) in butter and whisk into the cream along with some shredded cheese (cheddar is the obvious choice, but you can substitute half the cheddar with with provolone, or mozzarella or something else. Tottal amount of cheese is about 1.5 cups).
Prep as per instructions.
For the top, I like to shake on some french-fried onions, then grate some
Parmesan or Romano (or both) over the top of the last layer of potatoes/cream. Any remaining bacon goes on here as well.
Cook as per instructions.
Minor error: The
bolded above should actually be cheddar or whatever your base cheese is.
For extra crispy top, sprinkle a healthy amount of panko bread crumbs over the top.
Mix a cup of panko with 2 tablespoons melted butter or extra virgin olive oil. Spread as much as you prefer over the top then bake as instructed.
I use the EVOO instead of butter, because the dish is already plenty rich enough.
