Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 5 mins

Ingredients

• 10 large potatoes
• 1 quart heavy cream
• 2 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup asiago cheese
• 1 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons onion powder
• 3 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon parsley
• crumbled bacon

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven at 400f.
• 2 slice potatoes and put them in water. (i slice them with a slicer because if you cut them by hand, obviously they will be way too thick when you layer them!).
• 3 melt butter in a large saucepan and add heavy cream, the parsley, garlic powder and onion powder. bring to a soft boil.
• 4 when (soft) boiling, turn off. add sliced potatoes and let them sit for 10-15 minutes (this is to let it cook a little bit to cut off the oven time!).
• 5 in a buttered lasagna pan, make one thin layer of potatoes. then add a layer of grated parmesan cheese, mozzerella, asiago and the crumbled bacon, and evenly disburse one ladle of the cream on top of the potatoes. continue this step until you reach 1 inch from the top of the pan.
• 6 pour the cream inside the pan, enough to cover the potatoes.
• 7 top with a little more cheese and cover, but leave one side open to let the steam vent.
• 8 after 35 minutes, check the potatoes. if they are not soft yet, continue again for 15 more minutes.
• 9 uncover then cook another 15 minutes.
• 10 let stand and the sauce will thicken.
