Mississippi Mud Potatoes is a creamy, cheesy baked potato casserole loaded with crispy bacon, fresh garlic, and onions. This hearty dish blends tender diced potatoes with cheddar cheese and mayonnaise for a rich, flavorful comfort food perfect for family dinners or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale

Potato Mixture

  • 6 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped

Binding Agent

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking and prepare for baking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the prepared baking pan, mix together the peeled and diced potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, minced garlic, and chopped onion until evenly distributed.
  3. Add Mayonnaise: Pour the mayonnaise over the potato mixture and stir gently until all ingredients are fully coated, which will help bind the casserole and add creaminess.
  4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy, and bacon-filled potato casserole as a savory side dish or a hearty main.

Notes

  • Ensure potatoes are diced evenly for uniform cooking.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise with sour cream for a tangier flavor.
  • For a lower fat option, use reduced-fat cheddar and mayonnaise.
  • Bacon can be replaced with cooked sausage or omitted for a vegetarian version.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
