Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel and chop the large potatoes into quarters. Boil in salted water for about 25 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and caramelize the onions in the bacon fat for 10-12 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, mash the potatoes with minced garlic, sour cream, butter, milk, and cream until smooth. Season with salt.
  4. Boil lasagna noodles in salted water for 5 minutes less than packaged instructions for al dente. Drain and toss with olive oil.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Layer potatoes, noodles, caramelized onions, bacon, and cheese in a baking dish. Repeat layers.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil to brown cheese in the last few minutes of baking.
  7. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve garnished with crispy bacon and chopped scallions.
