    1 1/2 pounds peeled Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
    1 teaspoon salt, divided
    Cooking spray
    2 tablespoons minced shallots
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    2 cups 1% low-fat milk, divided
    3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated Asiago cheese
    1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    4 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
    1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

    Preheat oven to 350°.

    Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender. Drain. Sprinkle potatoes evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside and keep warm.

    Heat a medium saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add shallots; cook 2 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Sprinkle flour over shallots. Gradually add 1/2 cup milk, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Gradually add remaining 1 1/2 cups milk, stirring with a whisk. Cook over medium heat 9 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt, Asiago, chives, pepper, and bacon.

    Arrange half of potato slices in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour half of cheese sauce over potato slices. Top with remaining potato slices and cheese sauce; sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
