With the exception of our weirdo 3-year-old, this family loves cheesy potatoes. (Bug hates all potatoes except french fries…strange.) So, when I saw this Fresno Potatoes recipe from Alaska from Scratch on ZipList, I made it right away. I’m so glad I did. This recipe is awesome. The major change I made is the “bacon,” for which I swapped in my new favorite, Bacony Quinoa.
Ingredients
Instructions
Bake or boil potatoes, until just tender but not cooked all the way through. Cool and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices.
Preheat oven to 350.
In a greased 9 x 13 dish, layer half of potato slices, then top with half the bacony quinoa and onions.
Whisk milk into yogurt or sour cream and flour until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Spread half the mixture over the potato layer and then sprinkle with half the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat layers.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs over top and drizzle butter over all. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve hot.

Wowza. Fantastic. Even Bug ate a few bites of this one before realizing it was full of potatoes. Lol.

These look absolutely wonderful – what a delicious dish! There's nothing like cheese, potato and bacony flavours for comfort food!
I can't imagine a kid not liking this! Cheesy comfort food. Yum
Very indulgent! I'll bookmark this as "tailgate recipes" for the fall!
I have lived in Fresno twice and never heard of Fresno potatoes. They look amazing! I will definitely be giving them a try.
I just love your Fresno Potatoes, I can almost taste them and can't wait to make them. Hope you have a fantastic week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.

What about if your lactose intolerant? And I thought Vegetarians don't drink milk or any dairy products? Will it be ok to substitute those products with non dairy products? Will it still taste the same?
Nope, that's vegans that don't eat dairy. You can certainly sub in non-dairy versions. It won't taste the same, no, but then again it wouldn't taste the same if you changed the type of cheese either. If it's what you're used to, it will taste great, I'm sure.
