What You Need To Make This Cheesy Mississippi Mud Potatoes Recipe?

Potatoes: To achieve the creamiest outcome it’s best to choose potato varieties, like Russet or Yukon Gold that have a starch content. This ensures a velvety texture that perfectly complements the cheesiness of this dish.
Cheddar Cheese: I recommend grating your cheddar cheese as it melts beautifully and brings a richer more authentic flavor compared to pre-packaged and pre-shredded alternatives. Feel free to experiment with types of cheddar such as sharp or mild depending on your personal taste preferences.
Bacon: Before adding it to the mix make sure to pre-cook the bacon until it reaches a crispiness. This step preserves its essence. Adds a satisfying crunch to every mouthful of the dish.
Mayonnaise: Quality plays a role when selecting mayonnaise for this recipe. Opt for a good quality brand in order to achieve the most delicious result possible. It acts as the ingredient that binds everything together giving the dish its velvety consistency.
Green Onions: These delicate green onions bring a touch of freshness and a subtle hint of onion flavor. Don’t overlook them; they provide a contrast, to the richness of cheese and bacon while beautifully balancing out all the flavors in this dish. Feel free to modify the amount according to your preference adding an extra for a bolder onion taste or reducing it for a milder touch.
Steps To Make Cheesy Mississippi Mud Potatoes:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven for Comfort. Start by preheating your oven to 325°F. This slow baking process ensures that all the flavors come together perfectly.
Step 2: Combine the Magic. In a 9×13 inch baking dish mix together the potatoes, grated cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic salt and sliced green onions. Next, add a cup of mayonnaise to the mixture. Stir it well until all the ingredients are evenly coated in goodness.
Step 3: Place this cheesy blend into the oven. Allow it to bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the potatoes are tender and the top turns brown.

For a boost, in flavor, you can enhance the taste of your Cheesy Mississippi Mud Potatoes by adding a touch of ground black pepper and a pinch of smoked paprika to the potato mixture, before baking.
