This is a super easy side dish.  I love making it for just about anything.  It’s all the flavors of a baked potato but in a much easier to serve form.  This recipe comes from my husband’s aunt.  I just adore my husband’s aunts!  They are so sweet and instantly welcomed me into the family when we started dating sixteen years ago.  This was one of the first dishes I tried from them.  I was in love!  I could share a ton of others too.  One of his aunts is a big cookbook collector like me.  There is even a family cookbook, which is awesome!

I remember I couldn’t wait to make it for my own family.  I knew they would love it, and LOVE it they did!

Baked Potato Casserole

Ingredients

  • 8-10 potatoes (Red or Brown), peeled and cubed
  • 1 1b. block Velveeta, cut into small cubes
  • 1-1 1/2 cups of mayo (I usually use 1 cup, but it depends on the number/size of potatoes)
  • 3-4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 package Real bacon pieces (found with salad dressings/toppers)

Instructions

  1. Boil cubed potatoes until tender and drain.
  2. In a large bowl, stir potatoes with mayo and cheese. Stir in green onions, reserving a few for the top.
  3. Pour into a casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray.
  4. Top with bacon pieces and green onions.
  5. Bake at 350, covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5-10 more minutes.

Notes

I find brown potatoes give it a creamier consistency. Use whichever kind of potatoes you prefer.

I am a wife to an awesome husband, mother of four great kids, and a middle school math teacher. I love collecting recipes and cookbooks! Being able to share the things I make with others is so much fun for me. I have gotten so many cookbooks and torn so many recipes out of magazines! This is my way to really make use of them. I am starting this blog as a way to chronicle the recipes I’ve tried and pass them along. I hope everyone enjoys!!!

    Do you think you could make it a few hours early and keep it in the refrigerator and just bake it right before you need it?

      Hi Kelli-Jo! I totally hear you on wanting to make a dish ahead of time! For this one, though, I would be a little scared to mix all the warm potatoes with the mayo and then refrigerate it. I’m funny when it comes to mayo. Perhaps you could have your potatoes boiled, cooled, and refrigerated ahead of time since that really takes the most prep time. Mixing it all together and putting it in the dish right before baking should go pretty fast. Hope that helps. Thanks for visiting!

      Hi Marie! I haven’t tried it, but you can try sour cream instead. You could also try using a canned cream soup. Thanks for visiting!

    I love this recipe!!! The only changes I made is that I added chicken and broccoli and shredded cheese.
    I’ve been cooking it for a couple of years now. Thanks for the share.
