Direcciones
- Cook bacon until done, but not crispy. Set aside on paper towels to absorb grease and pat dry.
- Cut into bite sized pieces when cool.
- Wash potatoes. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water, then add the potatoes.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes in boiling water (the potatoes will finish cooking in the oven). Set aside and allow to cool.
- Once you're able to work with the half-cooked potatoes, slice them into 1/2" pieces.
- In saucepan, melt butter. Saute the onion slices until just tender; remove from pan and set aside. Making sure you still have enough butter in your pan, stir in flour and milk, whisking until smooth.
- Cook over low heat, stirring/whisking constantly for 1 minute. Add cheese and continue to stir until cheese melts.
- Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
- Mix in bacon.
- In a buttered 9x13 quart casserole, layer potatoes, onion, and cheese mixture.
- Continue to add layers until about one inch from the top, finishing off the top layer with the cheese mixture.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven, covered, for 45 minutes.
- Take the cover off of the casserole dish, sprinkle with green onions, and bake for another 5 minutes uncovered.
- Sprinkle lightly with garlic salt before serving, if desired.
