Elegant Scalloped Potatoes

SUBMITTED BY: Krista Wilson

"I wanted a different side dish one night, so I dressed up my usual scalloped potatoes with bacon, green onion and extra cheese. Microwaving speeds things up, but you can save even more time by preparing it a day early."

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 large baking potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 1/2 cups milk
  • 12 ounces process cheese (eg. Velveeta), cubed
  • 1/3 cup crumbled cooked bacon
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions

DIRECTIONS

  1. Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the process cheese and bacon; stir until cheese is melted. Remove from heat; set aside.
  3. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-in. slices. Place a third of the slices in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish; top with a third of the cheese sauce. Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and onions. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
