Mississippi Mud Potatoes are a comforting and indulgent casserole dish featuring tender diced potatoes combined with shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, garlic, and onions, all bound together with creamy mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. Baked to perfection, this hearty side dish offers crispy edges and a rich, savory flavor, making it a perfect accompaniment to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 6 cups potatoes, peeled and diced

Dairy

  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

Meat

  • 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 3 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and diced potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon, minced garlic, chopped onion, and mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and mixed together.
  3. Bake the casserole: Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 1½ hours or until the potatoes are tender and the edges become slightly crispy and golden.
  4. Serve warm: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, optionally topped with sour cream, fresh chives, or parsley for added flavor and garnish.

Notes

  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier option.
  • For extra crispiness, sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • Feel free to add chopped green onions or chives into the mixture for extra herbal notes.
  • Ensure potatoes are cut evenly to allow uniform cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
