Cheesy Gourmet Potato and Bacon Casserole

Ingredients

- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 8 ounces slab bacon, diced
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, sliced
- 4 ounces Reblochon cheese, sliced
- 4 ounces Camembert cheese, sliced
- 4 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
- 4 ounces Fontina cheese, grated
- 4 ounces Asiago cheese, grated

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Bacon and Onion Mixture:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced slab bacon until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove half of the bacon to a paper towel to drain. Add the onions to the skillet with the remaining bacon and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Deglaze with Wine:
Pour the white wine into the skillet to deglaze, stirring to pick up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 3 minutes, then remove from heat.

4. Layer the Ingredients:
In a large baking dish, arrange a layer of sliced potatoes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add a layer of bacon-onion mixture, followed by slices of Brie, Reblochon, and Camembert. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, bacon-onion mixture, and cheeses, reserving some cheeses for the top.

5. Finish with Cheese:
Top the final layer with Gruyère, Fontina, and Asiago cheeses.

6. Bake:
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

7. Rest and Serve:
Let the casserole rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.
