Ingredients

1 tablespoon of bacon fat (I know but I had some sitting there)

6 medium yellow potatoes, peeled, soaking in water

1 large yellow onion

1 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of pepper

3 to 4 passes of nutmeg on the microplane

3 tablespoons of butter

1 cup of heavy cream

1/4 cup of parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Using a mandoline or vegetable slicer, slice the potatoes as thin as possible and as evenly. Pat dry

Slice onion thinly, cut in quarters. You really want it slivered..

Grease the bottom of a nine inch glass pie pan.

*bacon fat is wonderful and I have done it with duck fat and that will make you swoon.

Layer the potato pieces evenly across the bottom of the plate about 1/3 of the slices.

Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, nutmeg.

Top with 1/2 of the onions.

Dot with butter.

Repeat the layering process ending with the potatoes.

Put pie pan on a cookie sheet in case of spillover in your oven.

Slowly pour the cream over the potatoes.

Dot with a little more butter ( if you dare)

Finally sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.

Bake one hour to one hour and ten minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

Sounds fabulous!! Saving this one! And as for the bacon grease, well, even Emeril says "pig fat rules"!!

I think that this recipe (minus the parmesan cheese... that's a toughy) was made for Romania! Anything including pig fat (i.e. slanina) is a go here.... that & the fact that E. Europe is a potato capital... bing, bang, boom.... oh & yum :D

Outstanding comfort food - and one of my personal faves! And honey, I think bacon grease is a great add. Just a little adds so much flavor...I love it. And I love my mandoline, too - it makes perfect slices in no time flat. High 5 - and thank ya!! ;)

This is sensational and a dish we cook when we have favoured guests -- and our butcher sells rendered duck and goose fat .My only difference is a bit of garlic which I heat with the cream then remove before pouring over .
