When it comes to potatoes, I typically am pretty boring. I love the idea of trying new versions, however, rarely have the time to make them. I usually just stick to mashed or loaded and call it good. When I came across this recipe from Mama Plus One, I was instantly intrigued. Not only did the potatoes look amazing, but it really did not look too hard. I had grabbed a bag from the store and knew I had to try them.
My husband grilled us some steaks and cheesy stuffed jalapenos while I had these cooking. The house smelled amazing and dinner was a success! The kids even went crazy over the potatoes. I think it must be due to the bacon…..bacon makes everything better, right??
Enjoy!!
These potatoes are packed with flavor!! With just the right amount of cheese and bacon, this is the perfect side dish for any meal!
- 6 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3 tsp garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
-
In a 9 x 13 baking pan, combine the potatoes, cheese, bacon, garlic, and onion.
-
Add in the mayonnaise and stir until coated.
-
Place pan in preheated oven, 325 degrees, and bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until potatoes are tender.
-
Remove from oven and serve!
Hi Kristen…..these look excellent. Unfortunately way to many carbs for me, so I’m going to low carb it and try it with cauliflower. I may add a potato or two for texture.
BTW….Have you had the drawing for the bear claws yet?
I’m so happy that you tried these out! Your photos look great.
Also, the bacon? It’s my favorite part. 🙂 Happy Friday!
SWEET!!! I have to make something for a potluck after church on Sunday and I’m making this!!! I’ll make it all up at home Saturday night and pop it in the oven at church so it can bake during the service! Thank you and Jenni for sharing this with us!!
Great thinking Barb, be sure to let me know how it turns out and what you think!!!
Yes, I had the drawing for the bear claws and emailed each of the winners this past week 🙂
Thanks for a fabulous recipe! My family thoroughly enjoyed these!!! Have a great weekend!!
Oh perfect! Be sure to let me know what you think when you try these!
Could you use bacon bits instead of bacon?
Definitely!! I have done that before and it works just as well!!!
Can you substitute for mayonnaise?
You can use sour cream in place of the mayonnaise 🙂
could i use something other then mayonaise? thanks
You can substitute sour cream in place of the mayonnaise 🙂
These look great. I am so trying these for supper tonight!!!
Look delicious. Can hardly wait to try them. Would frozen potatoes work?
How did they turn out???
Hmmmm, you may not have to cook the potatoes as long, so just adjust the time a bit. Other than that, it should work great!!
what kind of mayo miracle whip or hellmanns
Any type works, however, I prefer to use Hellmann’s 🙂
I think this dish could become a high end dish when we switch to cauliflower at 7.50 a head these days. 🙂
Ooooo, I love cauliflower, I bet that would be yummy!!
I’m a potatoe person….always looking for new recipes.this one looks amazing….Thank u so much
My pleasure! Enjoy!!
I use frozen O’Brien potatoes but had not thought about putting bacon in them!!! I’ve been making these for years, got the recipe from a church cookbook. The time is about the same too. 350* for 1hr or till your potatoes are done. Best to thaw the potatoes first but I do make them frozen too!!!!
Great idea on using frozen potatoes, I will need to try that next time! Thanks!!
You can boil the potatoes in their “jackets” in other words with the skins on ahead! Then peeled and dice and only need about 30 minutes to cook! Just an fyi! They are delicious!
Great idea!! Sounds perfect!
Do the potatoes still taste yummy if you don’t have any bacon?
Definitely! I have made it with and without and its great!!
i will makethis recipe today and post it on my facebook page.
I really wanna try this yummy
Oh yum! How did it turn out??
You’ll love these, they are quite tasty!
Whatcan I sub for the mayonnaise???
Sour cream works great! I have also heard Greek yogurt (plain) is a good substitution as well!!
How many people does this feed?Also I have a very similar recipe that uses cauliflower instead,only you do half mayo/half sour cream mixture and everyone goes crazy over it.No one can believe it is a vegetable dish.Its called “Loaded Cauliflower”.
This feeds about 8, sometimes more depending on portions taken! The cauliflower recipe sounds delicious, I will have to try that sometime!
Should these be covered while baking?
Nope, no need to cover!
Can you leave peel on? I like to use white potatoes, they have a softer skin
I am trying this tonight! It looks so yummy! I hope it turns out! Thanks for sharing.
Yea! Hope you enjoyed it!
I’m going to make this neek wee one day for supper
Hope you enjoy these!!!
Can you refrigerate for a day before cooking?
I don’t see why not, however, the potatoes may brown a bit since they are peeled. It won’t affect the taste any, but perhaps appearance!
Has anyone tried this in an Instant Pot? I’d love to have your recipe ideas.
Oooo, I haven’t tried that but bet it would be great! Not sure on the adaptions, but maybe I will give that a try soon!
