Categories     Potato     Casserole/Gratin     Bacon

Yield 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, halved and sliced thin
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon pepper
1 ¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 ¼ cups beef broth
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease 13 by 9-inch baking dish. 2. Cook bacon in medium saucepan over medium-low heat until crisp, 10 to 13 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate. Remove and discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot. Return pot to medium heat and add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is soft and golden brown, about 25 minutes, adjusting heat and adding water 1 tablespoon at a time if onion or bottom of pot becomes too dark. Transfer onion to large bowl; add bacon, thyme, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add broths to now-empty saucepan and bring to simmer over medium-high heat, scraping bottom of pan to loosen any browned bits. 3. Slice potatoes 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to bowl with onion mixture and toss to combine. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Firmly press down on mixture to compress into even layer. Carefully pour hot broth over top of potatoes. Dot surface evenly with butter. 4. Bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and golden brown on edges and most of liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let stand for 20 minutes to fully absorb broth before cutting and serving.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my casserole turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what the problem was.

I'm not a big fan of potato casseroles, but this one changed my mind. The combination of potatoes, bacon, onion, and cheese is divine. I'll definitely be making it again.

I made this casserole for a potluck and it was a total showstopper. It disappeared in minutes! I'll definitely be making it again.

This casserole was a huge hit at our family gathering. Everyone went back for seconds and thirds. The leftovers were even better the next day.

I've tried many potato casserole recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The bacon and onion add a savory depth of flavor that really elevates the dish. I highly recommend it!

5 stars! This potato casserole is a keeper! It's cheesy, flavorful, and oh-so-satisfying. I've already made it twice and it's been a hit both times.
