How to Make Au Gratin Peas And Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal), cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings.
- Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté in the bacon drippings until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top with half of the frozen peas, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the crumbled bacon.
- Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, peas, cheese, and bacon.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and milk until smooth.
- Pour the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the layered ingredients.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
