Pour half of the mixture into prepared dish. Stir onion with bacon and tomatoes. Sprinkle 3/4 of the onion mixture over potatoes. Pour in remaining potato mixture. Sprinkle with remaining onion mixture and cheese. Set on baking tray to catch any drips.

Tips

To prevent browning, peel your potatoes just before making this recipe.

Switch up the bacon for cooked ham and use Canadian Cheddar instead of Canadian-Swiss.
