Wow this was great. How can you go wrong with bacon and potatoes? ;) I used a throw away loaf pan which worked nicely for the bacon. It folded over the potatoes perfectly and looked beautiful when I pulled it from the oven. I thinly sliced the potatoes and sprinkled with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder with a light sprinkle of parm cheese. I made to accompany steaks but this would be great with breakfast as well.

I served this to our gourmet club and everyone asked for the recipe. But, I used turkey bacon for one of the pies and added a little butter on top before cooking. It was great. Actually, some of the people who tasted the pork bacon version and the turkey bacon version liked the turkey better. As the potato pie cooled, the turkey bacon held the pie together to a point that people picked up a piece and ate it like a tart. I had sliced it in small pieces so people could try both. I'd like to try it again in a 9 x 11 pan.

This was wonderful, don't need to add the butter, the fat from the bacon does a good job, i used swiss and fetta cheeses and then 2nd time i made it used farmers cheese and swiss, both times was great, a new family favorite.

I pre-cooked and mashed the potatoes before mixing in the other ingredients (specifically the cheese) and baking. I also used HAM instead of bacon. The FLAVORS melded wonderfully. Turned out to be a genuinely nice side dish to my Porterhouse Steak (my husband's boss, his wide + 2 others) presentations.

I had a little trouble with this recipe. It took way loger to cook than stated and my bacon started to burn on the edges before it was done in the center, so that I had to cover the edges with foil. Still, the flavor was really good and I think I can rig it to work. I'll update you when I try it again. Thanks for the recipe.

Like most reviews I've read on this site, this recipe was changed a little. I used cheddar instead of fontina and I poured 2 beaten eggs (mixed w/milk) over the first layer of potatoes (I customized the recipe for 2 people). It was scrumptious!

Very good, however I had to cook almost twice as long as they recommended in my gas oven. No one wants raw bacon!

I wasn't too crazy about it however, my boyfriend loved it. The bacon cooked up beatufully and it looked terrific when it came out of the oven. I think it was the fontina I wasn't keen on. I might try it again sometime with cheddar. I would recommend using a little salt and a good amt. of pepper on the potato layers.
