Rustic and Simple Cheese Potatoes

"My DH's aunt always brings these potatoes to every family function. They are a big hit. I asked for the recipe, and now I bring them to work functions. They are very simple, but are delicious. I don't like the olives on top, but my DH does. Enjoy!"

directions

  • Wash (scrub) potatoes and dice into 3/4-1" chunks. Cook until tender. Do not overcook.
  • Meanwhile, dice and cook the bacon until crispy. Dice the onion and green olives (optional). Cut the Velveeta into 1/2-3/4" chunks.
  • Stir together the onion, Velveeta and mayonnaise.
  • Drain the potatoes. Place them in a sprayed, deep baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper.
  • I always stir the cheese mix and potatoes in the same dish they will be cooking in If you would like, you could do this step in a large mixing bowl and add them to the baking dish after they are mixed together.
  • Sprinkle the top of the potatoes with the bacon. Wait to add the olives until the last 10-15 minutes of baking time.
  • Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for approximately one hour. I uncover them the last 10-15 minutes. Monitor this to make sure they are not too well done. They should be bubbling.
  • Let them sit for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
