Potatoes And Tomatoes Au Gratin - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 slices bacon
1 lb potato, peeled thinly sliced, boiled in salted water 8 minutes and drained on paper
2 lbs tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 lb cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons minced parsley
1 1/2 tablespoons minced chives
butter
1/2 cup cream

Preparation

Grill bacon until crisp and crumble.
Preheat oven to 375F and butter an earthenware dish.
Combine cheese and breadcrumbs, parsley, chives and season (I often add a minced clove of garlic, too).
First put a layer using 1/2 of the potatoes, then 1/3 of the tomatoes, sprinkle with 1/2 of cheese and 1/2 of bacon; repeat layering one more time in the same manner; finally, top with remaining tomatoes; drizzle cream over.
Bake 40-45 minutes, until tender and browned.
