Ingredients:
3 pounds of potatoes, thinly sliced (use Yukon or russet)
2 onions, medium, thinly sliced
12 ounces of bacon, cooked and crumbled
8 ounces cheese I used a combination of sharp cheddar and Gruyere, any cheese will work
3 cups whole milk
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
Apply cooking spray to the inside of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place a medium skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the onions into the hot skillet, then cook for a couple of minutes until caramelized. Sprinkle salt and pepper to season.
Remove from the skillet and transfer them onto a clean plate.
In the same empty skillet, add bacon and cook for a few minutes until crispy. Remove from the skillet and transfer them to a clean plate as well. Use paper towels to wipe clean the skillet.
Add butter to the same skillet and allow it to melt. Add flour, then whisk and cook for about a minute.
Slowly add the milk and whisk continuously until well blended. Simmer until the texture becomes thick.
Remove the skillet from the heat.
To Assemble:
Add 1/2 of the potatoes, 1/2 of the caramelized onions, 1/2 of the bacon, 1/2 of the cheese, and 1/2 of the sauce into the baking dish. Make sure to arrange them in layers. Repeat the process one more time. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about an hour.
Remove the foil cover and bake for another half hour.
Remove from the oven and let the potatoes rest for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Serve and enjoy!
