Preheat oven to 350°F : Butter a large casserole dish with 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.

Layer on half of the bacon, and half of the parsley and chives. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan. Repeat by layering on a third of the potato slices, sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Layer on the remaining sliced onions, 1/2 cup of the Swiss cheese, the remaining bacon, parsley and chives. Sprinkle with a little Parmesan. Top the casserole with the remaining potato slices, add the half and half, and dot the potatoes with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter.
