Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 4-5 medium starchy potatoes Russets or Yukon Golds
  • - 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) to guarantee even baking.
  • Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions to the bowl with the potatoes.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix the full-fat mayonnaise with salt and pepper, then pour it over the potato mixture.
  • Stir all the ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the cheese, bacon, and mayonnaise mixture.
  • Transfer the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle additional green onions on top for garnish.
  • When making Cheesy Mississippi Mud Potatoes, consider experimenting with different cheese combinations for unique flavors. Adding vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms can enhance the nutritional value and taste of the dish.
  • For a lighter version, substitute full-fat mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or sour cream. Additionally, if you're looking to switch up the meat, options like diced ham or turkey bacon can provide a different twist. Enjoy your baking!
