Sweet N Sassy Eats - Instant Pot Bacon & Herb Scalloped Potatoes - Christmas dinner side

Easy and reliable Instant Pot Bacon & Herb Scalloped Potatoes are an indulgence and perfect for any holiday or special gathering!

I love a good scalloped potato or au gratin potato recipe. But I felt like most times they were only one note or fell flat on strong flavors. Also my husband doesn’t really eat white potatoes, the only potato he really eats is a sweet potato.  So, I wanted to make a recipe that he would enjoy and that I would enjoy.

Most of the time I make this with JUST sweet potatoes, but a lot of people don’t like sweet potatoes so for this post I did a mix! Feel free to swap out the potatoes how you prefer! Sweet N Sassy Eats - Instant Pot Bacon & Herb Scalloped Potatoes - layer heaven

Look at those lovely layers of potatoes, cheese, cream & bacon! YUM! Cooking it in the Instant Pot makes this dish cook in half the time & use one less spot in my oven! When I bake in the oven or on my smoker, it sometimes takes longer to cook through. What I am saying is, Instant Pot Bacon & Herb Scalloped Potatoes are more reliable.

INSTANT POT SCALLOPED POTATOES TIPS

  • Make sure to have extra fresh herbs for garnishing your dish afterwards.
  • Allow the dish to cool for the full 10 minutes. This allows the cream sauce to thicken and the cheese to set so it holds together better, otherwise it becomes a sloppy mess that doesn’t plate well.

I’ve neglected my little food blog and social me I’ve neglected my little food blog and social media accounts for so long. Besides going through a couple years of having babies. Building a home, selling a home having another baby, moving etc, I’ve also maybe never felt like the name I chose out of desperation for a food blog name really fit with what I wanted to post about or about me. I’ve been really trying to figure out what I want to share and how to share it and give the best value to people. I’ve always loved gardening, loved canning and preserving food, I love teaching my kids to cook and love food, i love all sorts of cuisine and I love throwing dinner parties. With our new home I now have a place I can entertainer more, a prettier kitchen to photograph and film in, a very large garden with space to have an outdoor dining table to literally eat Farm to Table. I want to focus my blog on basically all of that. Teaching and learning more gardening techniques, learning more about food preservation, entertaining year round and cooking with my kids. 

I’d love YOUR input in what I should change the name to… please drop your ideas below. If I pick yours I’ll make you some caramels or smoked salsa or something I can mail you if you aren’t local to me. 

Thank you! #newbrand #farmtotable #cookingwithkids #foodpreservation #dinnerparties #helpme

Living here we will never have to worry about getting pinched for not having green! 🤣

The exterior color scheme has had my stomach in knots ever since we chose it. I knew the other homes on our street were all going to be white and so our home would look drastically different. I wasn’t sure how it would all turn out, but I LOVE IT 😍! One day we’d love to do copper gutters and coordinating fascia and soffits. But I even love the white. 

We just had our final walk through before our final inspection!! I can’t believe the day has come that we finally will be moving in! March 24th cannot come fast enough!

So incredibly grateful for this cute and crazy fam So incredibly grateful for this cute and crazy family of mine! While visiting CA my good friend @amberrasberry was so kind to squeeze us in and take some awesome family photos at the place where @shields_word and I had our engagement photos taken over 8 years ago @applehillofficial @highhillranch_applehill ! We might not have gotten one photo where everyone was looking at the camera at the same time, but that’s ok by me! Our life is crazy, hectic and full of energy! I’m grateful that these photos truly capture my children’s personalities and this wonderful stage of life we are currently in! @amberrasphotography did a fantastic job and I’m so grateful for her and her talents! I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and hope you too are embracing the chaos and finding joy in it! #thankful #familyphotos #applehill #highhillfarms #familychaos #thanksgiving

Tonight I made us a spicy salmon poke bowl with sushi rice, pickled carrots, cabbage, avocado, edamame and cucumbers. I made the kids a honey glazed pan seared salmon and they ate all the same items in our bowl. 

Do you have a favorite salmon recipe? I have a few but would love to try more! Let me know yours below👇🏼!!

Our f#very first fruiting in our peach tree and our last time we will get to enjoy peaches from this tree as we are moving in a few months! So glad we got to enjoy the fruits of our labor with this tree! Also, if you have small children and plan to harvest while pregnant, I HIGHLY recommend planting an “easy pick” pruned peach tree! I only needed a ladder for like 20 peaches max. My kids were able to pick and reach most of them! #parentwin
