Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker™ julienne potatoes
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup half-and-half
1 cup frozen sweet peas
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup garlic croutons, coarsely crushed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves

Steps:

Heat oven to 400°F.
In ungreased 8-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish, stir together sauce mix (from julienne potato box), boiling water and 2 tablespoons butter until butter is melted and sauce mix is dissolved. Stir in potatoes (from julienne potato box), half-and-half, frozen peas, bacon and Parmesan cheese. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix Topping ingredients. Stir potatoes; sprinkle topping over potatoes. Bake 5 to 7 minutes longer or until topping is golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving (sauce will thicken as it stands).
