A word of caution: this recipe I'm sharing is high in cholesterol and fat. Very very sinful but very delicous. So eat in moderation. I do not recommend eating this all the time.
This recipe is inspired by the many variations of baked potato and Potato Au Gratin I found on the net. Most recipes don't have Bacon as an ingredient (so Bacon is optional)...but since this is my recipe, itinodo ko na sa fat and cholesterol :P.
On personal note, this is one of my favorite food--potato...either baked or fried or found inside a bag (like a bag of potato chips hahaha), my guiltiest guilt ever.
I highly recommend this for handaans or when you're having a couple of family or friends for dinner. At least you get to share not just the food but also the high calories. :)
