Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Potatoes Au Gratin Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon butter
3 pounds whole russet potatoes
12 ounces thick cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ cup dry white wine
¾ cup creme fraiche
1 (16 ounce) round Reblochon cheese or other ripe, washed rind cheese

Steps:

  • Boil unpeeled potatoes with salt in water over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife but are not too soft, 15 to 25 minutes depending on size. Remove potatoes from water to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat until cooked but not quite crisp and most of the fat is rendered out, 5 to 7 minutes. Push bacon to one side of the pan and blot up some of the fat with a wadded paper towel. Add onion slices. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and cayenne. Cook and stir over medium heat until onions are soft, sweet, and golden, about 6 minutes. Add white wine; cook for 2 minutes and deglaze pan. Remove from heat.
  • Cut wheel of cheese into 2 semi-circles. Place each half cut side down and split in half to form 2 more semi-circles, each with a rind side and creamy cheese side.
  • When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin. Slice into fairly thick slices, about 1/3 inch thick.
  • Place a little over half the potato slices onto bottom of a 2-quart shallow baking dish. A little overlapping is fine. Sprinkle with a bit of salt. Pour in bacon/onion/wine mixture and spread over potatoes in an even layer. Arrange the remaining potato slices over the top, overlapping as needed. Spread creme fraiche over the potatoes. Place down cheese pieces, rind side up. Transfer pan to a baking sheet. Bake in center rack of preheated oven until browned and potatoes are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

LEEK, POTATO, AND BACON CASSEROLE



Leek, Potato, and Bacon Casserole image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h38m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 leeks, white and light green (about 6 ounces)
6 slices smoked bacon
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus for brushing the pan
3 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 medium red potatoes, diced (about 8 ounces or 2 cups)
2 cloves smashed garlic
2 sprigs fresh thyme
6 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
6 ounces Jarlsberg Swiss cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven 325 degrees F.
  • Butter an 8-by-8-inch square flameproof casserole dish. Halve the leeks lengthwise, and then cut them crosswise into half circles (There should be about 1 3/4 cups.). Put the cut leeks in the basket of a salad spinner, or a colander set in a bowl, and fill with water. Swish the leeks around to flush out any grit. Lift the basket from water--don't pour the water off or you will pour any grit right back over the leeks.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and fry the bacon until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the pan drippings, add the butter and leeks, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a small saucepan with the garlic, thyme, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and water, to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then drain. Discard the thyme and garlic and add potatoes to the leeks.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs and half-and-half, then stir in the leek mixture, 1 cup of the cheese, the bacon, and nutmeg. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and some pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish, cover with foil and bake until just set but still moist, about 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Position a rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler. Scatter the remaining 1 cup cheese over the casserole and broil until the cheese browns, about 3 minutes. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Unmold or serve from baking dish.

CHEESY CAULIFLOWER, POTATO AND BACON CASSEROLE



Cheesy Cauliflower, Potato and Bacon Casserole image

A nice twist to a classic. Layered and baked until golden brown. A great side dish for any meal. I prefer a grilled steak or some roasted chicken, but this is so good and creamy.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 , 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 head cauliflower, chopped
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
salt
pepper
1 red pepper, diced fine
3 scallions, diced fine
1 medium onion, dice fine
3 slices bacon, chopped and sauteed
salt
pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Potato and Cauliflower Layer -- In a large pot of boiling salted water on medium high heat, cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes and then add the cauliflower and cook another 5 minutes under tender. Remove from the heat and drain. Using a potato masher or even just a fork, slightly mash. I like to do a rough mash for this dish. Add, salt, pepper, milk and butter and set to the side.
  • Bacon, Pepper and Onion Layer -- In a medium saute pan, add the bacon and saute until crisp. Remove and let it drain on a paper plate lined with a paper towel. In the same pan, use the bacon drippings (no more than 1 teaspoon, you don't want too much oil) to cook the onion and red pepper red pepper until tender. Once the onion and pepper are done add the scallions, salt and pepper to taste and remove from the heat, drain if necessary (you don't want this oily) and set to the side.
  • Cheese and Crumb Mixture -- In a small bowl, add the melted butter, bread crumbs and cheese and mix well to combine.
  • Casserole -- In a casserole dish, spray with non stick spray and heat the oven to 375. Add a layer on the potato cauliflower mix; then a layer of the bacon, pepper and onions; then a layer of the cheese and bread crumb mix. Next, again, the potato cauliflower; bacon, pepper and onions; and then the cheese and bread crumbs.
  • Bake -- Thirty (30) minutes until golden brown and bubbly. This is a great side dish and makes a great presentation when you cut into it and serve.

CRISP POTATO AND BACON CASSEROLE



Crisp Potato and Bacon Casserole image

This is a nice casserole dish that can be a side dish for either breakfast or dinner. From Bon Appetit, July 2004. A special note for my friend Lynn - You don't have to use the rosemary - pick an herb that you do like. lol.

Provided by Vicki Butts (lazyme)

Categories     Potatoes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lb boiling potatoes (2-3)
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp rosemary, finely chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
5 slice bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450F.
  • 2. Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch cubes.
  • 3. Transfer potatoes to a 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish and toss with oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
  • 4. Arrange potatoes in 1 layer and scatter bacon on top.
  • 5. Bake until bacon is crisp and potatoes are cooked through and golden around edges, about 35 minutes.
  • 6. Loosen potatoes with a metal spatula before removing from dish.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: For a creamy casserole, select starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. For a firmer texture, use waxy potatoes like Red or New Potatoes.
  • Parboil the Potatoes: Parboiling helps remove excess starch and prevents the potatoes from becoming too mushy. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook until they are tender but still firm, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the Bacon Until Crispy: Crispy bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the casserole. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it is crispy and browned. Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables like onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms add color and flavor to the casserole. Sauté them in a pan with some butter or olive oil until softened.
  • Season Generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the casserole. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or paprika for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Potato and bacon casserole is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Experiment with different types of potatoes, vegetables, and seasonings to create a casserole that is uniquely yours. Whether you serve it as a main course or a side dish, this hearty and comforting casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
