- Cut the zucchini into long noodles using a spiralizer (or use 1 pound store-bought zucchini noodles). Set aside.

Melt the butter in the skillet and add the scallion whites and garlic; cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the flour and stir to combine, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the milk, mustard, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheese until smooth.

My German grandmother taught me to cook, and she used bacon drippings in almost every recipe, even cookies! I happened upon this concoction one summer Sunday afternoon when our neighbors gave us a bumper crop of vegetables from their garden. Naturally I stared with grandmother's favorite ingredient...bacon!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use small, waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. These hold their shape well during cooking and won't get too mushy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of roast and won't get crispy.
- Roast the potatoes until they're golden brown: The potatoes are done roasting when they're golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, but can vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Don't skip the bacon: The bacon adds a delicious smoky flavor to the potatoes. If you don't eat bacon, you can substitute another type of meat, such as ham or sausage.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the potatoes with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or thyme. This adds a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Zucchini and bacon potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They're crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. The addition of bacon and zucchini makes them extra special. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try.
