LOADED SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH BACON, CHEDDAR & CHIVES

Steps:

• Position racks in upper and lower third of oven; preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Toss potatoes with oil in a large bowl until well coated. Divide between 2 large baking sheets and spread in an even layer. Roast, rotating the pans from top to bottom about halfway through, until tender and beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until just crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Add onion to the pan; cook, stirring frequently, until very soft and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add milk; cook, stirring and scraping up any brown bits at the bottom of the pan. Increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Preheat the broiler.
• Transfer half the potatoes to a 2-quart broiler-safe baking dish. Spread half the sauce over the potatoes and top with 1/4 cup cheese and 2 tablespoons chives. Add the remaining potatoes, sauce and cheese. Top with the bacon. Broil, watching carefully, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is beginning to brown, 1 to 5 minutes depending on your broiler. Let stand 10 minutes. Serve topped with the remaining 2 tablespoons chives.

LOADED SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Generously butter a 3-quart casserole dish.
• Cook the bacon until crispy, reserving 2 tablespoons of the drippings. Drain and crumble.
• Place the butter and bacon drippings in a large microwave-safe dish (I use a 1-quart pyrex measuring cup). Microwave on high until butter is melted.
• Stir in flour and whisk until smooth. Microwave on high for 2 minute, stopping half way through to stir. Slowly whisk in the hot milk. Return to microwave and cook for two or three more minutes on high, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens slightly. Stir in salt, cayenne, and nutmeg.
• Spread a third of the sliced potatoes evenly in the bottom of the buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle evenly with a third of the cheese, 1/3 cup green onions, and a third of the crumbled bacon. Spread evenly with a third of the sauce. Repeat to make 3 layers, except do not put cheese on the top layer.
• Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.
• Remove foil and sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake until cheese is bubbly.
• Let sit 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES AND BACON

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.
