Traditional scalloped potatoes are made extra tasty in this potato recipe with a velvety cheese sauce made from evaporated milk, plus cheese and bacon. Ingredients:
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled |
2 -3 lbs potatoes (6 medium) |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper (to taste) |
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk |
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese |
2 green onions, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Place potatoes in large saucepan. Cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until just fork tender; drain.
2. Meanwhile, melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Gradually stir in evaporated milk, water and 1/3 cup bacon. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese and green onion.
3. Layer half of potatoes in ungreased 3-quart microwave-safe dish. Pour half of sauce over potatoes. Top with remaining potatoes and sauce. Top with remaining cheese and bacon. Microwave uncovered on HIGH (100%) power for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
