204. BAKED SMOKED BACON I

(Boczek Wedzony Wypiekany)

serves four


1 lb. lean bacon, unsliced
2 lbs. potatoes, parboiled
4 tablespoons sour cream

Boil bacon until transparent in just enough water to cover, about 1/2 hour. Parboil potatoes. When cool enough to handle, cut bacon in strips and potatoes into slices. Line a buttered casserole with potatoes, arrange a layer of bacon on top, then more potatoes, and continue in layers, ending with potatoes. Cover with sour cream and bake in moderately hot oven for about half an hour, or until potatoes are done.
