Preparation

  • Layer the bottom of the casserole dish with a third of the potato slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer on half of the sliced onions and ½ cup of the Swiss cheese. Layer on half of the bacon, and half of the parsley and chives. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan.
  • Repeat by layering on a third of the potato slices, sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Layer on the remaining sliced onions, ½ cup of the Swiss cheese, the remaining bacon, parsley and chives. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan.
  • Top the casserole with the remaining potato slices, add the half and half, and dot the potatoes with the remaining 1 ½ tablespoons of butter.

Baking

  • Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F in the oven for one hour.
  • After an hour, remove from the oven, remove the foil, sprinkle on the remaining Swiss and Parmesan cheese.
  • Return to the oven for an additional 30 to 40 minutes until potatoes are tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.

For faster cooking, parboil the sliced potatoes for 8 minutes before layering them in the casserole.
