Mississippi Mud Potatoes are a decadent, cheesy, and bacon-filled side dish that’s perfect for family dinners or gatherings. With creamy potatoes baked to golden perfection, this recipe delivers pure comfort.
Ingredients
- 6 cups potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese freshly shredded for better melting
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup bacon cooked and crumbled
- 3 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
Instructions
-
Peel and dice 6 cups of potatoes into uniform pieces. Cook and crumble 1 cup of bacon. Shred 1 cup of cheddar cheese, finely chop 1/2 cup of onion, and mince 3 teaspoons of garlic.
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure even cooking and blending of flavors.
-
In a large bowl, mix the diced potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, minced garlic, and chopped onion. Stir in 3/4 cup of mayonnaise until the mixture is evenly coated.
-
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. Pour the potato mixture into the pan and spread evenly into a single layer.
-
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Stir gently halfway through if needed. The dish is done when the potatoes are tender, and the top is golden brown. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
-
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. Serve hot as a hearty side dish, paired with grilled meats, barbecues, or enjoy as a standalone meal.
Notes
For an extra cheesy finish, sprinkle additional shredded cheddar on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
