Today's installment of this is why we are fat

[2curlydogs]

You know, I like bacon.

But a bacon crust? No. Sorry.

[knx9211]

Oh that is disgusting.

[elleblue]

[msmerymac]

No.

Also, are you guys really dissing this? Holy shit, that thing looks amazing and I would eat it in a second.

I need my bacon extra crispy. Or if it was crumbled up in small pieces in the potatoes I would be all over it. 

[pixy0stix]

The potatoes are too thick. blech.

Yep. Bacon + Potato + Cheddar = Yes, please. Just not in this package.

[emisi]

...I would eat it.

[StrawberryBlondie]

That looks gross.

[Vespasia]

Needs more cheese

This is going to be a 4 pager isn't it?

I made this and it was fucking amazing.

Your final product looks way more appetizing than the one in the OP, but I can't put my finger on why.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

Potato au gratin with bacon yes, shovel it all in my mouf, but that is a hot, gross mess.

[oliviapope]

Yea, I would totally fucking eat this. All by myself. Bacon? Good. Cheese? Good. Potatoes? Good.

[StrawberryBlondie]

Wouldn't the bacon grease make the potatoes & cheese a weird gross conglomeration?

[2curlydogs]

Now I want potatoes au gratin though. Dammit.

*reevaluates dinner plans*

[pixy0stix]

I think maybe it needs some egg.

[wambam]

Love it, want it, would eat with eggs.

You're my people, wizardsleeve.

[wawa]

I feel like there is some issues with execution in the OP's potato thickness, but this looks amazing in concept.

Ya'll are crazy.

[dojo]

I'm not into this. Potatoes bacon and cheese are all good and good together but I feel like this particular dish would be a bit meh.

[StrawberryBlondie]

Don't get me wrong, I think there's some potential here. I just think the execution is off.

Also, I don't like crispy bacon. Mix everything together in a potato gratin and I'd be into it.

[ajj]

I think it needs sour cream. It looks gross, but good at the same time.

[EloiseWeenie]

As long as all of the bacon were crispy (or at least on my piece), I would love this.

That's almost word for word what I thought. lol

This is probably the only food thread ever for which I feel no passion. I can see how it might be delicious. I can also see how it might be gross. It is dumb, but I would probably try a slice if offered (if made with beef bacon and only with sour cream and chives, of course). It reminds me of stuff my old dental hygienist posts on Pinterest and I wonder how she is not morbidly obese, because it's just so extra for no reason at all.

Yes. That bacon looks like it would be chewy. Do not want.

Well... you can have a slice of bacon-potato pie and not be obese.  You just can't have ALLLLLLLLLLL the slices.  

Every once in a while it's nice to have something extra for no reason at all.  We obviously don't eat this way all the time.  We saw the video on Facebook and died laughing and decided it would be a fun Sunday afternoon project.

I am aware and that wasn't a slight to anyone, even the hygienist. Almost everything she posts reminds me of stuff like this. It's all very fattening, crazy stuff I l've never seen and would never think of and she's no bigger than a size 6. Maybe she just looks at it. Anyway, it's still extra as hell to ME. I don't care what anyone else eats, but it's just over the top. Potatoes au gratin topped with a decent amount of bacon would give nearly the same taste with much less fat and cholesterol. More power to whomever wants to indulge.

sfy beef bacon. Blasphemy!!!!

Bacon is my favorite food group.

I know the swine eaters disagree but it is very delicious!! I don't personally have a point of comparison, but former pork eaters have agreed with me on this.
