Scrumptious Bacon Garlic Scalloped Potatoes
- 6 large Red Potatoes
- 1 small White Onion
- 1/2 lb Bacon
- 1/2 stick Butter
- 4 tbsp Flour
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 cup Milk
- 2 cup Cheese of choice or blend
- 3 clove Garlic
- Preheat oven to 350
- Dice bacon and onion and add both to a saute pan on low heat.
- Sprinkle on the sugar and cook until bacon is crispy and onions are slightly caramelized.
- Finally chop garlic and add to bacon and onion, stir for only a minute.
- Increase heat on saucepan to medium.
- Add butter and flour, vigorously stirring until the flour is slightly brown.
- Only a couple minutes, don't let your bacon burn.
- Slowly whisk the milk until slightly bubbly and no lumps of flour.
- Reduce saute pan back to low, whisk in cheese reserving half a cup for topping.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Potatoes are pretty bland so you want to be able to taste the salt, but be cautious because the bacon and cheese contain salt as well.
- Grease a casserole pan and thinly slice the potatoes.Place half along the pan, pouring half the cheese mixture over it.
- Then layer on the rest of the potatoes and cheese sauce.
- Top with remaining cheese.
- I like to sprinkle on parmesan and chili powder for extra flavor, but this is optional.
- Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes.
- Then increase temperature to 415, uncover, and continue baking till cheese is browned and bubbly and potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
- Indulge as a side to your favorite entree!
