    Just got mine out of the oven. Super easy

    1.2kg potatoes peeled and sliced
    2 1/2 cups milk
    60g butter
    1/4 cup flour
    2 cups cheese
    2 rashers bacon- rind removed and diced.

    Melt butter, remove from heat, whisk in flour. Add milk bit by bit stirring constantly. Return to heat, stir continuously till sauce thickens. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese and stir till combined. Add salt and pepper.
    Layer 1/3 potato slices on bottom of tray slightly overlapping, top with 1/3 bacon then 1/3 sauce.
    Repeat till ingredients finished. Sprinkle with remainder of cheese and bake for 45 mins on 200 degrees celcius.

    I guess it might be a bit late for tonights dinner, but here's mine ...

    Slice some potatoes (maybe 6 largish) & a couple of onions.
    Chop up some bacon, maybe 5 or so rashers.
    Layer in casserole dish - potato, onion, bacon, grated cheese. Repeat. Repeat
    Every second layer add salt & pepper & a couple of spoonfuls of thickened cream drizzled over the top.
    Top with grated cheese. Bake until potatoes are tender (the thinner you slice them the better).

    I just layer potatoes, diced bacon, sliced onion, salt&pepper then pour over a tub of cream and top with grated cheese and put in the oven on 180 til it's cooked. If I want it cooked quick I put it in the microwave for 6 mins before I put it in the oven.

    Thanks girls

    I made it and threw in a packets of french onion soup and caramelised some onions to give it a bit more flavour as well and it worked out really well, just meant we had a late dinner

    Nice!

    Potato bake is good for that, you can mix it up a bit. Another one - which I actully much prefer - is layered potato, sweet potato, pumpkin & cheese. YUM YUM !!
