Grill - Baked Scalloped Potatoes

I made this recipe over the weekend and it's perfect for a barbecue! Since Labor Day weekend is upon us, I thought it was a good one to share!

What You'll Need:

1 Stick Melted Butter
8 Cups Thinly Sliced Russet Potatoes (I use a mandolin to get thin slices)
1 Sweet Onion Sliced Thin
1/4 Cup Flour
Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
3 1/2 Cups Milk
1 1/2 Cup Shredded Cheese (I use white cheddar)
8 Slices Cooked Bacon Chopped
2 Green Onions Chopped

How To Make:

Drizzle about 4 tablespoons of butter on bottom of a foil 9x13 inch pan. Spread butter around. Line bottom of pan with sliced potatoes, sprinkle some sweet onion, flour, cheese, salt and pepper to layer. Drizzle some butter, and repeat layer until potatoes have run out. Gently pour the milk down the side of the pan so you do not disturb top layer. Add cheese, bacon and green onion to the top and wrap pan with foil. Cut a slit in top of foil to vent. Place potatoes on hot grill. If you do not have a grill, you can cook the potatoes in the oven. Whether your using a grill or oven, the temperature should be at 400. The potatoes will take a least 60-75 minutes. Check them after an hour and adjust cooking time if needed. I like to take the foil off the last 10-15 minutes to slightly brown the top. When potatoes are done, pull them off the grill and allow to cool for a few minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken. Sprinkle some fresh shaved cheese over top to garnish!


This one's for you Frank!
