YIELDS: 8 - 10 SERVINGS

PREP TIME: 0 HOURS 25 MINS

COOK TIME: 1 HOUR 15 MINS

TOTAL TIME: 1 HOUR 40 MINS

INGREDIENTS

6

slices bacon, chopped into 1" pieces

3 tbsp.

butter

3

garlic cloves, minced

3 tbsp.

all-purpose flour

2 c.

heavy cream

1 c.

low-sodium chicken broth

2 lb.

russet potatoes, rinsed and scrubbed clean

2 c.

shredded cheddar

1/4 c.

finely chopped chives

kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

In another large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook for another minute. Whisk in cream and chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Peel potatoes and thinly slice each potato crosswise into thin coins. (A mandolin would work great here.)

Spoon a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of a large casserole dish. Add a single layer of potatoes on top. Spoon more sauce over the potatoes and top with cheese and bacon. Repeat 3 to 4 times, or until the casserole dish is mostly full.

Bake until the sauce is bubbly and the potatoes are very tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
