Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

- Add 1 tablespoon butter to bacon fat in frying pan. When it has melted add 1/2 the garlic and give it a quick stir with a wooden spoon to soften. Add the cabbage and coat it with the butter. Slowly let it wilt. Add the bacon. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove from heat and add most of the chives, reserving a little for the garnish.
- Generously butter the bottom and sides of an ovenproof casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, 1 1/2 cups of cream, 1 cup of Parmesan, and the remaining garlic, Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using your hands, place a layer of potatoes in the casserole dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan and repeat with 2 more layers. Spoon the cabbage mixture on top and spread it out evenly over the potatoes. Top it off with 2 more layers of potato and Parmesan. Pour the remaining 1cup cream over the dish. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan.
- Cover dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown. Leave for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh chives.

Tips:
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the potatoes. This will help them cook evenly and create a creamy texture.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
- Use a combination of cheeses for a more flavorful gratin. Gruyère, Parmesan, and Cheddar are all good options.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
- Serve the gratin hot out of the oven. It's also delicious at room temperature or cold.
