One of my favorite side dishes to serve is potatoes.  They are so versatile and taste great with just about anything you prepare them with!  These Cheddar Bacon Au Gratin Potatoes are especially great with steak and chicken. They are perfect for special occasions.  And, while these potatoes far from a low calorie food, they are oh so worth it!

Cheddar Bacon Au Gratin Potatoes are a combination of all things rich and savory.  To ensure that every bite is full of creamy, cheesy goodness, I put an extra layer of cheese and bacon between the potatoes!

This dish is fairly simple to make, however, it does require more time.  It’s great for weekends and special occasions, rather than busy weeknights.

Cheddar Bacon Au Gratin Potatoes

Prep!

Peel and slice your potatoes about 1/4″ thick.  Cook and crumble the bacon.  Spray an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.  Preheat your oven to 350°F.

You will need measuring cups, measuring spoons, a small mixing bowl, whisk, and all your ingredients out and ready to go!

Create!

Whisk together the heavy cream, milk, garlic, flour, salt, and pepper.  Set aside.

Place a layer of the sliced potatoes into the bottom of your baking dish. This should be about half of your potatoes.

Sprinkle on half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled bacon.

Top with the remaining potato slices. Pour all of the cream mixture all over the tops of the potatoes.  Cover with foil and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 60 minutes.

Once the potatoes are tender, remove the foil and add the remaining cheese and bacon.  Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and just starting to brown.

Serve hot.

Present!

When you have got yourself cheesy bacon deliciousness right on top, you really don’t need much else except maybe a sprinkle of parsley.  A pretty serving dish and spoon might be nice if you are entertaining guests.
