This creamy garlic potato bake is a comforting and delicious dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and the flavors are simply irresistible. The combination of creamy cheese sauce, crispy bacon, and tender potatoes is a match made in heaven.

Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 bunch green onions, diced and divided in half
  • ¼ cup diced roasted red peppers
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons thyme leaves, divided in half
  • 3 pounds russet potatoes, sliced thinly, skin on or off
  • ½ cup real bacon, crumbled and divided in half
  • 3 ounces Gruyère cheese, finely grated
  • 2 ounces Gouda cheese, finely grated
  • 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pan spray

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the cheese sauce: In a small saucepan, heat butter and cream until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the cheeses and stir until melted. Add half of the green onions, roasted red peppers, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Layer the potatoes: Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Layer the sliced potatoes in the dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes and stir to coat.
  4. Top and bake: Sprinkle the remaining green onions, bacon, and thyme over the potatoes. Top with breadcrumbs.
  5. Bake: Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Tips for the Best Potato Bake:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are ideal for this recipe as they hold their shape well and absorb the flavors of the cheese sauce.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes can become mushy.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: The cheese is what makes this dish so rich and flavorful.
  • Serve immediately: Enjoy the potato bake while it's hot and bubbly.

This creamy garlic potato bake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. It's a perfect comfort food that's easy to make and always delicious.
