Meet me at the fair,

Some of the older crowd will know and appreciate that one ^ as sung by Judy Garland.

Homemade Scalloped Potatoes
6 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8" slices (Love my PL8 Mandoline slicer)
2 sticks butter
4C +/- milk
1C +/- flour
4C shredded cheese
1 large onion, chopped coarse
1C + crumbled bacon
2T garlic, minced
Lawry's seasoned salt to taste

Preheat oven to 425°
Prep the potatoes, parboil until barely tender, set aside
In a large sauce pan melt the butter, add flour to make a roux
Add the cheese and 2C of milk to the roux and melt the cheese into it, add milk as needed to attain the desired sauce consistency (think tomato sauce)
Over med-high heat saute the onions, bacon and garlic till onions are just soft

In a large casserole dish spread a thin layer of cheese sauce, then half the potatoes as a single layer
Spread onion/bacon evenly over this layer, season with seasoned salt
Spread the rest of the potatoes and cover evenly with remaining cheese sauce
Bake till at 425° till top is browned

Serves 10-12

Thanks y'all for the replies.

Tough crowd in the Pork forum, gotta try harder to 'Wow!' the masses.

Dang'it, I forget to include step x step pics of the scalloped potatoes.
Now I can't find the pics, grrrrrr!
I'll just have to cook'em again.
 
Another great looking meal, Chile! Isn't "meat me" a little forward? o_O:D
Thanks MOI... Maybe a lil'bit foward, but hey I'm looking for a Homerun, not 1st base.
A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Tasty looking plate CR!
Thanks again B1, appreciate the compliments.
 
Great looking ribs but them taters. Thanks for the recipe.

I been looking for some taters like these, maybe on the smoker?
 
Thanks Adam, appreciate the compliment/Like.
Yeah, them taters turned out great, really cheesy.
Make that cheese sauce with extra cup or two of cheese, then add Macaroni for Mac-n-Cheese.
I did these in the oven, but I bet they'd be great with a light smoking.
