It must be potato week!

Yes, I realized that the last 3 posts have pretty much been about potatoes. I must have been craving them more than I thought. Even more surprisingly, no one in my family complained lol. But either way I have been able to get through a 10 pound bag of potatoes this month lol!

This recipe is for bacon scalloped potatoes. They are great with ham slices, or ham in the them instead of bacon. I made this this week with ham slices, and applesauce. The whole meal wasn't more than $10, and there were leftovers. The scalloped potatoes even hit the spot in the morning...think about it..its cheese, potatoes, and bacon. Yum! :)


Bacon Scalloped Potatoes

2 T. butter
2 T. flour
1/4 t. salt
3/4 c. milk
3 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 small onion
3 bacon strips, or package of bacon pieces
1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper, to taste.

In a greased 8x8 pan, layer the potatoes, onions, cheese, salt and pepper. Usually makes 2-3 layers. End with cheese on top.
In a saucepan, melt butter.
Stir in flour and salt until smooth. 
Gradally add milk.
Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Pour white sauce over top of potatoes.
Cover and bake at 350* for 65-75 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with bacon.
