How to Make Asiago Potato And Bacon Gratin

  1. Peel and cube 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes. Place in a large saucepan.
  2. Cover potatoes with cold water and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until potatoes are almost tender but not mushy. Drain well.
  4. Sprinkle potatoes evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and set aside.
  5. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon non-stick cooking spray. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots and sauté for 2 minutes, until softened.
  6. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the shallots and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking in 1 1/2 cups milk until the sauce thickens and is smooth (about 9 minutes).
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup grated Asiago cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 4 oz cooked and crumbled bacon.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  10. Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
  11. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  12. Top with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
  13. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  14. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, golden brown, and the potatoes are tender.
  15. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
