Gratinated Potatoes with Cheese and Bacon

First, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Place the prepared potatoes in a large pot, pour in milk and cream, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to medium and simmer for 3–4 minutes. The potatoes should be soft but not falling apart. Remove the pot from the heat, press in the garlic, and leave the potatoes in the pot.

Now prepare a baking dish (approx. 20 cm × 30 cm) and preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Cut the bacon into small cubes, place it in a pan, and slowly render it over medium heat until crispy. Then add the cooked bacon to the pot with the potatoes.
