Ingredients:  
6 large potatoes, peeled
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 small onion, chopped
7 ozs. Irish black bacon, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. thyme
1 C. dry white wine
1 C. whipping cream
Freshly ground black pepper
14 oz. Swiss cheese
Directions:
Directions:
Heat oven to 350º. Heat a pot of salted water to a boil; add potatoes. Cook until slightly tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain; cool. Cut into 1/4-inch slices. Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook until soft, but not browned. Add bacon, garlic and thyme; cook stirring often, until bacon is lightly browned, (Irish bacon has little or no fat so it browns quickly), about 5 minutes. Stir in wine; cook for 3 minutes; stir in cream. Season with pepper. Cover bottom of a buttered 2-quart ovenproof casserole with half of the potatoes. Grate half of the cheese over the potatoes. Pour over half of the cream mixture. Add remaining potatoes; pour remaining cream mixture over the top. Cover with buttered foil. Bake 20 minutes; remove the foil. Slice remaining cheese; place on top of the casserole. Bake until mixture is bubbling and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Serves 8.
