13 Reviews of Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

by ~Rita~

From: TwinsChef

I used smoked cheese (pepperjack and cheddar) and I sauteed the onions with the bacon instead of including them raw. This gave the dish a wonderful, smoky, caramelized flavor. The dish was a huge hit. Cook time was right on and the sauce to potato ratio was also good. 15min prep time is ambitious unless you use pre-shredded cheese and pre-sliced potatoes.

    These were a big hit in my house, demanding a repeat performance the next week. I halved the recipe as did the previous reviewer and regretted it firmly as there wasn't enough to go around. I substituted cubed ham instead of the bacon, and used the Monterey Jack with jalapenos as RitaL suggested... a keeper.

    Sooo yummy!! I usually eat vegan so I tried to resist this, but I couldn't help but have a bite! I made this dish this morning for Christmas brunch and it went over very well! I used all shredded cheddar, colby, and jack cheeses because I didn't have any brie. I used 1/2 soy milk, 1/2 skim milk. I also omitted the onions because my family doesn't like them. This was easy to make and a great finished product! I kept it in for a little over 45 minutes and it was perfect. Thanks!

    My family loved this. I added garlic randomly as I layered. I also omitted the bacon and brie cheese. I used old cheddar cheese (2cups) and added Parmesan after the first layer. AWESOME. Mine took 1 hour 20 mins to cook. Ty Rita.

    I am baking this in the oven with a ham for New Years day supper as I write this. I did it all in one large frying pan. I sauteed the onions with the bacon in a little butter until onions were soft and then added the flour, and milk (1 cup half and half with one cup skim milk)to make the white sauce. I then added the cheese (chedder and brie) which melted quickly into the mixture and layered the potatoes with the mixture in a large glass baking dish which I sprayed with cooking spray first (already enough butter in the recipe). The bacon became part of the mix as the French would use it (like a lardon) rather than as a garnish. It added a nice bacon/smokey flavor to the dish. It was delicious.

    I really loved these scalloped potatoes! The sauce was creamy and cheesy, baked up with a nice brown top. I halved the recipe, and used artificial bacon bits. I will be making this again soon! Thanks!

    MMMMM! Really good Rita! I made these for a small BBQ we threw for my husband's Marines and they ate it up! The brie was a great idea. LOVED IT! Thanks for posting!

    OMG, these were ridiculously good. Cheese, potatoes, bacon and onion...how can you go wrong? I used Monterey Jack and threw in some Caso fresco I had in the fridge. I also cranked up the oven to 400 degrees for the last 20 minutes and got a wonderful crisp top. Perfect. Thank you.

    Nice recipe here. I liked the idea of the brie. I halved the recipe as many other reviews did and wished i hadn't cause it was so tasty. Used Hormel artificial bacon bit to save on preperation time and the casserole was still nice and tasty. Thanks Rita
