Bacon Scalloped Potatoes

From

April​/May 2008

Bacon Scalloped Potatoes

A holiday menu isn’t complete without a scalloped potatoes recipe, but the dish can be time-consuming to make. We wondered if we could create a flavorful, cheesy bacon scalloped potatoes recipe that could be prepared ahead and simply heated before serving. Simmering the potatoes with the sauce on the stovetop kept baking time to just 15 minutes. A bit of baking soda added to the potatoes made them tender without leaving behind a chemical taste. Our Bacon Scalloped Potatoes recipe can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.

Serves 8

Other mild, semisoft cheeses, such as gouda or fontina, may be substituted for the cheddar in this recipe. Fresh chives can be used in place of the parsley.

Dear Home Cook,

If I were new to CooksCountry.com, I might think, "It's easy to get free recipes on the Internet. What makes your recipes different?" Well, unlike recipes from blogs, message boards, and other recipe sites, our recipes are exhaustively tested by our team of full-time test cooks until they offer consistently great results. That means fried chicken with a crunchy coating and moist meat, a low-fat recipe makeover for macaroni and cheese that’s as creamy and cheesy as the full-fat version, and fork-tender slow cooker pot roast.

We're obsessive in our quest to find and foolproof the best of American home cooking, from fuss-free weeknight dinners, to updated, simplified versions of regional specialties, to slow cooker and make ahead meals. CooksCountry.com is the only place you can find every foolproof recipe published in Cook’s Country magazine since 2005, plus objective ratings and test results from both Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated for cookware and supermarket ingredients.

Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I’m pretty confident that CooksCountry.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from a quick Tuesday supper to your next get-together with family and friends.

Thanks for your consideration,

Christopher Kimball
