Did someone say Bacon ?!! This is my new favorite au gratin recipe... I will never make another recipe again! So good! How can you go wrong with bacon? Ingredients:
3 lbs potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick (about 6 medium potatoes) |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons flour |
1 1/2 cups heavy cream (or milk is fine) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional) |
2 cups swiss cheese, shredded |
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Butter a large casserole dish.
3. Place potatoes in even layers in casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder as you layer.
4. In a medium sauce pan, melt butter on medium heat. Add flour and whisk. Cook for about 1 minute. Add milk and bacon and stir until slightly thickened. Poor over potatoes and top with Swiss cheese. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Uncover and broil, if desired. Let sit for a few minutes and then dig in!
5. Tip: keep your potatoes in a bowl of water until you are ready to use to prevent browning. And you don't have to peel your potatoes - more vitamins that way. Enjoy!
