That's basically my recipe, too. I don't use the nutmeg. I fry bacon
crispy. Saute onions in the bacon fat and toss in a litttle minced garlic.
I layer the potatoes, like you do, adding the cheese and roux (made into
cheese sauce), onions, and crumbled bacon on each layer of potatoes. The
last few minutes of cooking, I top with cheese. When It comes out, I
sprinkle with more crumbled bacon.
