Bacon and Swiss Au Gratin Potatoes image

I was wanting to do something different with Au Gratin potatoes, and this is what came out of the dark regions of my brain ;).Cook time doesn't include the cooking of the bacon. And don't let the long list of instructions scare you, it's alot easier than it looks :). If you like you can leave the skins of the potatoes on.The 10 minute " rest " time is included in the prep time. Submitted to " ZAAR " on October 16, 2009.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped, or more to taste
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
½ onion, finely chopped
½ pound bacon
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Tips for Making Bacon and Swiss Au Gratin Potatoes

1. Use a variety of potatoes. For the best texture and flavor, use a combination of starchy and waxy potatoes. For example, you could use Yukon Gold, Russet, and Red potatoes. 2. Slice the potatoes thinly. The thinner the potatoes are sliced, the more evenly they will cook. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick. 3. Cook the potatoes until they are tender. Before adding the cheese sauce, make sure the potatoes are fully cooked. You can test this by piercing them with a fork; they should be easily pierced. 4. Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. For a classic au gratin, use a combination of Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses. 5. Make sure the cheese sauce is thick enough. The cheese sauce should be thick enough to coat the potatoes evenly. If it's too thin, it will run off the potatoes and make them soggy. 6. Bake the potatoes until they are golden brown. The top of the potatoes should be golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 25-30 minutes in a 350°F oven.

Conclusion

Bacon and Swiss au gratin potatoes are a delicious and comforting side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of crispy bacon, melted cheese, and tender potatoes is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home that is sure to impress your family and friends.
