I make these scalloped potatoes with bacon and cheddar every year for St. Patrick's Day as a dip instead of the casserole.
Just by adding more milk and chopping the potatoes up in chunks, it's really yummy with beer bread!
since we usually have the slow cooker corned beef and cabbage with Colcannon Potatoes.
If you're one to celebrate this green holiday, do try this recipe, it's great all year long and if you love St. Patrick's Day try my appetizer, Reubens!!
