Description

A creamy, cheesy, and bacon-filled potato casserole that’s baked to perfection. This Southern favorite combines tender potatoes with sharp cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and a touch of garlic, creating a comforting side dish that’s perfect for gatherings or family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 6 cups potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced

  • ½ cup onion, chopped


Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  • In the prepared baking pan, combine the diced potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, minced garlic, and chopped onion.

  • Add the mayonnaise to the mixture and stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 1½ hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

 

  • Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, cheesy, bacon-filled delight

Notes

Feel free to add a sprinkle of chopped green onions or parsley for added color and flavor.
