Butter an 8 x 8 casserole dish. Set aside.
Place the potatoes in the prepared baking dish. They can be layered flat or stacked standing up on the edges.
Pour cream of mushroom soup over the potatoes, getting it down in between the layers.
Cover with aluminum foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake about 1 hour 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and add crumbled bacon.
Return to the oven for about 5- 10 minutes until cheese is melted.
Remove from oven and allow to rest about 15 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Make a Smaller or Larger Casserole: This recipe is pretty simple to scale, for every pound of potatoes, use about 1 cup of cream of mushroom soup.
Cheese: We used cheddar cheese. Swiss cheese, smoked gouda or gruyere are also great choices. Use your favorite or a combination.
Storage: Cover casserole with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
Reheat: Reheat in a foil covered casserole in an oven safe dish at 350° for about 20 minutes. Potatoes can also be heated in a skillet, add a splash of milk if needed. Stir until heated through.
Cream of Mushroom Soup: We used our homemade cream of mushroom soup. Canned cream of mushroom soup can be used. Mix can soup with a can of milk before pouring over the potatoes. If you aren't a mushroom fan, cream of chicken or cream of celery soup will work too.
