Ingredients
  

  • cooking spray
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 green onion sliced
  • 2.5 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2.5 - 3 pounds potatoes chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375-F and spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Add the bacon to a medium-sized skillet and cook it over medium-high heat until crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towel and set aside.
  • Combine the bacon, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and sliced scallions in a large bowl.  Add the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped potatoes to the bowl, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
  • Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake, covered, at 375°F for about 45 minutes, then uncover and cook another 15-20 minutes or so, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional scallions if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • I love buttery gold potatoes in this dish, but any potato will work. Just don’t cut them too large or they’ll take forever to cook.
  • Pre-shredded cheese can save time, but shredding your own cheddar cheese ensures better melting and flavor.
  • For a smoky twist, use smoked cheddar or add a dash of smoked paprika to the potato mixture
