Over the Top Scalloped Potatoes
This intensely rich and flavorful scalloped potato recipe will leave your friends and family wanting more! Over the Top Scalloped Potatoes Prep time 1 hour Serves 6-8 Preheat oven to 350 degrees You will need: 1 large greased, oven-safe casserole dish Ingredients 3-4 pounds redskin potatoes 2 pounds of thick cut bacon, cooked and chopped 2 large onions, chopped and sautéed 2 cups heavy cream 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup shredded fontina cheese 1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese 2 tablespoons fresh cracked black pepper 1 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt Directions Cut the redskin potatoes into ¼ inch slices. Place the potatoes in a large pot of heavily salted boiling water. When the potatoes become fork-tender, strain and set aside. Cut all of the bacon into ¼ inch strips and place into a large sauté pan over medium heat. Slowly cook the bacon until it becomes crispy and brown. Remove the bacon from the pan, and reserve the fat. Place the onions in the same pan that the bacon was cooked in. Slowly sauté the onions in the bacon grease until they become lightly brown. Set aside. Put ¼ cup of the heavy cream in the bottom of the casserole dish- add a pinch of salt and pepper. Line the casserole dish with ¼ of the sliced, cooked potatoes. Add a small amount of the bacon, caramelized onions, shredded cheese mixture, ½ cup of heavy cream, and salt and pepper. Add another layer of potatoes, and repeat the above procedure 2 more times using all of the cooked potatoes. Finish the dish with a layer of cheese. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 35-45 minutes until the top becomes brown and bubbly. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
