Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Potatoes: Wash, peel, and slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bacon: While the oven is preheating, cut the bacon strips into small pieces.
3. Cook Bacon:
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the bacon pieces. Cook until they are crispy and browned. Once done, remove the bacon pieces using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Reserve the bacon fat in the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with the salt, rosemary, and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and toss them to ensure they are evenly coated.
- In a greased casserole dish, add a layer of the seasoned potato slices.
- Sprinkle a portion of the crispy bacon pieces over the potato layer.
- Continue layering the potatoes and bacon until all ingredients are used up, making sure the top layer is potato slices.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
- After 35-40 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. This will make it easier to serve. Optionally, sprinkle some additional rosemary or black pepper on top for extra flavor.
- Serve the Potato and Bacon Casserole warm as a main dish or a side. Enjoy!
