How to Make Cheddar Bacon Potato Bake
- Scrub 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds without peeling.
- Place potato slices in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes.
- Slice 1 medium yellow onion into thin half-moons.
- Cook 8 oz of bacon until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large (9x13 inch) casserole dish, spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the cooked bacon on the bottom of the dish.
- Drain the potato slices thoroughly. Layer half of the potatoes in the casserole dish, followed by half of the onions, half of the bacon, and half of the cheese.
- Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, onions, bacon, and cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved bacon grease with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Pour over the top layer.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden brown on top. If browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
