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.

  • 3 lbs Sweet Potatoes & Yukon Gold Potatoes can use a mix or all of the same type

Instructions

  • Peel and thinly slice potatoes & Onions to about 1/8"  (you can use an even mix of Sweet and Yukon Gold Potatoes) Or you can use all of one type, I typically prefer a mix or all sweet potatoes. 
  • In a separate pot, add Heavy Cream, onions, herbs & all seasonings together. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  • Remove Bay leaves from cream and pour a a littel bit of cream in the bottom of each pan. Then pour the rest over all the potatoes.

  • Set on HIGH Pressure for 25 min. When cooking is complete, you can allow it to natually release or do a manual release. Once steam has stopped, open lid and carefully remove from instant pot. Repeat for second pan
  • Turn oven to Broil and cook potatoes in oven until top is golden brown.Allow to cool for 10min and serve. Garnish with fresh parsley and chives.

Asian Noodle Salad (La Bou Copy Cat) P54.5 C51.8 F Asian Noodle Salad
(La Bou Copy Cat)
P54.5 C51.8 F9.9 CAL518
One of my favorite places to go to eat when I’m home in Northern California is La Bou. They have a ton of different salads, soups and sandwiches to enjoy and i always have to go a couple times to be able to get all my favorite menu items. One of those it their Asian Noodle Salad. It doesn’t typically come with chicken but i added that to it to complete the meal. I have no clue if this is close to their recipe but to me it tastes close to it! If you have room in your macros/ calories, add some chopped peanuts when you enjoy! This should be enjoyed COLD, i don’t know if it would be as good if it’s warm. 
* 8 Oz soba noodles (buckwheat, uncooked)
* 1 cup broccoli (cut bite size)
* 1/2 cup sugar snap peas (cut in thirds)
* 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 
* 3 green onions, diced
* 1/4 cup cilantro
* 20 Oz cooked boneless skinless chicken breast
Dressing:
* 1/4 cup liquid aminos (or soy sauce)
* 2 Tb rice vinegar
* 2 Tb Mirin
* 1 Tb sesame oil
* 1 Tsp minced ginger
* 1 tsp minced garlic 
* 1 tsp siracha 

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil (no salt). Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions.
2. Drain and rinse with cold water.
3. Boil more water and salt the water this time. Add broccoli and sugar snap peas. Cook for 2 min and remove to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. 
4. Blend the dressing ingredients together. Then toss half the dressing with the noodles and the other half with the green veggies.
5. Assemble your bowls. Weigh the dressed noodles and divide by 4. Then put that amount in each bowl. Do the same with the green veggies.
6. Divide out the red bell peppers amount the bowls, and 5oz of chicken per bowl. Then too with green onions and cilantro. 

Let me know if you end up making this! We love it! If you don’t like a little heat, then omit the siracha, but it’s only mildly spicy. #ifitfitsyourmacros #ihmloveyourbody @iheartmacros @lilmissmittsgetsfit
