  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • ½ cup onion, chopped

Instructions

  2. Add Mayonnaise: Pour the mayonnaise over the potato mixture and stir thoroughly until all the potatoes are coated with the creamy mayonnaise.
  3. Bake the Potatoes: Place the baking pan in a preheated oven set to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for best texture.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit bacon or substitute with smoked tempeh.
  • Mayonnaise adds creaminess; sour cream can be used as a substitute.
  • Pre-cooking the potatoes slightly can reduce baking time.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some paprika or chives on top before baking.
