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! :)
