Categories     Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 large potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1 large onion, sliced
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup flour
3 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
6 slices bacon
garlic salt

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.

1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups milk

salt and pepper (to taste)
parmesan cheese (sprinkled on top)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Peel and slice potatoes and set aside in a bowl of cold water.
  • Saute onion with 1 tablespoons butter until golden. Add garlic and continue to saute until garlic is lightly colored. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In small sauce pan melt 2 tablespoons butter add 3 tablespoons flour. Stir constantly until mixture begins to bubble. Slowly add milk and stir constantly bringing sauce to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-4 minutes until sauce is thickened.
  • Drain potatoes. Spray or grease 2 qt casserole dish and add potatoes, sauteed onions/garlic, and pour sauce over potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste (you can tell by tasting the sauce). Mix well. Sprinkle bacon pieces and cheese crumbles then lightly hand mix throughout dish.
  • Optional: you can sprinkle parmesan cheese on top and/or 1/4 cup bread crumbs mixed with 2 tbsp melted butter for a crispier topping.
  • Bake at 400°F for 1 - 1 1/2 hours uncovered or until top is golden brown and potatoes are tender. Cover with foil for the first 45 - 60 minutes of the cooking time if you add the bread crumb mixture or else it will burn with this high temp/long cook time.

  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Give the potatoes plenty of space so that they can crisp up.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese will give the potatoes a nice flavor.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
