Steps:
- Cook bacon until done, but not crispy. Set aside on paper towels to absorb grease and pat dry. Cut into bite sized pieces when cool.
- Wash potatoes. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water, then add the potatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes in boiling water (the potatoes will finish cooking in the oven). Set aside and allow to cool. Once you're able to work with the half-cooked potatoes, slice them into 1/2" pieces.
- In saucepan, melt butter. Saute the onion slices until just tender; remove from pan and set aside. Making sure you still have enough butter in your pan, stir in flour and milk, whisking until smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring/whisking constantly for 1 minute. Add cheese and continue to stir until cheese melts. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix in bacon.
- In a buttered 9x13 quart casserole, layer potatoes, onion, and cheese mixture. Continue to add layers until about one inch from the top, finishing off the top layer with the cheese mixture.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven, covered, for 45 minutes. Take the cover off of the casserole dish, sprinkle with green onions, and bake for another 5 minutes uncovered. Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt before serving, if desired.

Tips:
- Use a baking dish that is about 9x13 inches in size. This will ensure that the potatoes cook evenly and don't get too crowded.
- Slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help remove the starch from the potatoes and prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a good quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon is best, as it will provide more flavor and texture to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the baking dish with potatoes. Leave some space between the slices so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the potatoes at a high temperature, around 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help them brown and crisp on the outside while staying tender on the inside.
- Serve the potatoes immediately after they are done baking. They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Scalloped potatoes with bacon is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
