Method:

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Sauté the bacon in a pan until crispy, add the mustard and rosemary and sauté for another minute. Remove and set aside. Peel and slice the potatoes on either a mandolin or with a sharp knife.

Grease an ovenproof dish with the butter, place a layer of potatoes on the base of the dish, top with a dollop of the bacon mixture and season well. Repeat until you have 4 layers.
Pour the cream and stock over, place the dish in the oven and bake for 1 hour.

To serve: Serve hot with a green salad.
