A delightful twist on traditional lasagna, combining creamy potatoes, savory bacon, and rich cheeses for a comforting dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon.
Ensure the mashed potatoes are smooth for a consistent texture.
In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg, and onion powder until well blended.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Spread a thin layer of the potato mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
This prevents the noodles from sticking to the dish.
Place 4 lasagna noodles over the potato layer.
Ensure the noodles are evenly spaced for uniform layers.
Spread half of the cheese mixture over the noodles.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly.
Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of noodles topped with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Press gently on the layers to compact them slightly.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Covering with foil prevents the top from over-browning.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to brown the cheese.
Keep an eye on the cheese to avoid burning.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the layers to set for easier slicing.
