Ingredients
– 3 pounds yellow potatoes peeled and diced (such as Yukon gold variety)
– 1 small yellow onion diced
– 2 teaspoons minced garlic (fresh preferred)
– 1 pound cooked and crumbled bacon (regular cut)
– 1 cup mayonnaise (or half mayonnaise and half sour cream for added tang)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (alternatives like pepper jack or mozzarella can be used)
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each)
– 2 green onions sliced for garnish
Instructions
1-First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and coat a 9Γ13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. This step sets the stage for even cooking and prevents sticking.
2-Next, in the baking dish or a bowl, combine the 3 pounds of diced yellow potatoes, 1 small diced yellow onion, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 1 pound of cooked and crumbled bacon, 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each). Stir everything together until itβs mixed evenly.
3-Then, cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender. This allows the flavors to meld and the potatoes to soften perfectly.
4-Finally, remove the foil, sprinkle the 2 sliced green onions on top, give it a light stir, and serve hot. For added flair, you can mix in extras like red pepper flakes for spice.
