My family loves cheese and bacon... and potatoes! I prefer to make scalloped potatoes from scratch vs the boxed kind. There is so much more flavor to them. Hope your family enjoys this recipe as much as ours does.

These cheesy bacon potatoes are a great side dish recipe when in the mood for comfort food. They can be served alongside steak, roasted chicken, or baked ham during the holidays. The luxuriously creamy cheese sauce has salty, smoky, and crisp bacon mixed in. It's layered between slices of potatoes. Each bite is decadent.
