Scalloped potatoes with bacon and tarragon

Serves: 
4
Ingredients: 

1 kg Potatoes
Salt and pepper
1 Large onion, finely chopped
1 Level tsp fresh tarragon, chopped
75g Pancetta or bacon, chopped
250ml Single cream or milk
50g Mature cheddar or gruyere, grated

Method: 

Peel and slice the potatoes. Place half in a greased ovenproof dish and season well. Sprinkle with the onion, tarragon and bacon then cover with the rest of the potatoes. Pour   over the cream/milk and cover with greased foil.

Cook in the oven (200C) for about 1 and a half hours or until almost tender. Remove foil and sprinkle on cheese. Return to oven, uncovered for 15-20mins.

These go well with steak or beef casserole. You could use dried tarragon if you can't get fresh but remember the flavour will be more concentrated so use less.
