Instructions: Half the potato slices in a layer on the bacon. Sprinkle with a little cheese and some of the herbs.

Cover with the unsmoked bacon, then lay down the rest of the potatoes and the remaining grated cheese and herbs.

Finish with a layer of smoked bacon. Dot with little pieces of butter.

Cover with damp greaseproof paper and cook for 1 hour at Gas7/425F/220C. During the last 20 minutes cooking time take off the paper so the whole dish develops a magnificent golden crust.

Turn whilst warm. Can be eaten hot or cold delicious with a herb salad.
