Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, diced into small cubes
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Prepare Potatoes – Dice the potatoes into small cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Mix the Sauce – In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Combine Ingredients – Pour the creamy mixture over the potatoes. Stir in half of the shredded cheese, bacon, and green onions.

Bake – Transfer the potato mixture to the greased baking dish. Drizzle with melted butter and cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes.

  • Swap russet potatoes for red potatoes for a creamier texture.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
