Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 –7 cups potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 1 lb package bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup green onions thinly sliced

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, mix together the diced potatoes, grated cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic salt, and sliced green onions.
  3. Add Mayonnaise: Stir in the mayonnaise until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 1½ hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this comforting dish warm.

Notes

  • Potato Selection: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best due to their starchy content and ability to hold up well during baking.
  • Mayonnaise Substitute: For a lighter version, consider using Greek yogurt or sour cream in place of mayonnaise.
  • Add-Ins: Feel free to add ingredients like diced jalapeños for a spicy kick or caramelized onions for added sweetness.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
