Toddler update-
Toddlers liked it. P was a little harder to convince to eat it but she did eventually. I thickened the white sauce a little too much so I had thin it out with some more milk and water. Cooking time on the potatoes was about 10 minutes at a simmer though the potatoes were about 1/2 inch dice so pretty small.

School aged kid update-
The youngest and oldest people in the house have expressed their desire to have the bacon on top.  That way it stays crispy.  That, I can do.
