freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 c. shredded Monterey cheese
4 green onions, sliced
2 c. milk

Fry bacon until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain; crumble; set aside.
Scrub potatoes; slice into 1/4 inch rounds.
Layer half of the potato slices in the pan/dish, overlapping slightly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle both cheeses on top of the potatoes; add in green onions and crumbled bacon. Add the remaining potato slices on top of the cheese.
In a small bowl, mix together the milk and eggs; pour half of the mixture over top of the potatoes.
