Irish Pan Haggerty is a traditional Irish dish that has been enjoyed for generations. The roots of the dish come from the Northumberland region of England and have been adapted by Irish cooks to become a classic comfort food dish. The dish is made with sliced potatoes and bacon, which are layered in a baking dish with caramelized onions and chicken stock. Finally, the dish is topped with grated cheese and baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This dish is perfect for a cold winter's night or as a hearty meal any day of the year. Your family and friends will love the delicious combination of crispy bacon and creamy cheese with tender potatoes.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 375F/190C.
2.	In a large skillet, cook diced bacon over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until crispy. Remove bacon from pan and set aside.
3.	In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove onions and set aside.
4.	In a 9x13 inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of sliced potatoes. Season potatoes with salt and pepper.
5.	Top potatoes with half of the bacon and half of the caramelized onions. Add another layer of potatoes on top of the bacon and onions and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining bacon, onions, and potatoes, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper.
6.	Pour chicken stock over the potato layers until it reaches halfway up the dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
7.	Remove foil and sprinkle grated cheese on top of the potatoes. Return dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
