I wanted a different side dish one night, so I dressed up my usual scalloped potatoes with bacon, green onion and extra cheese. Microwaving speeds things up, but you can save even more time by preparing it a day early.

Ingredients

8 large baking potatoes
6 tablespoons butter, cubed
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 to 2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3-1/2 cups whole milk
12 ounces process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
1/3 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sliced green onions

Directions

Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the process cheese and bacon; stir until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat; set aside.
Cut potatoes into 1/4-in. slices. Place a third of the slices in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; top with a third of the cheese sauce. Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and onions.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
