Boil some potatoes until nearly tender, cut in thick slices, butter a baking dish and arrange the potatoes in layers, putting between each layer sliced bacon and grated cheese. Moisten thoroughly with a little stock, cover with grated cheese, but a few bits of butter on top, and bake in an oven about a half-hour or until browned.
