Ingredients

  • 4 cups potatoes diced small (see NOTES)
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onions
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives snipped
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 8 slices crisp cooked bacon diced
  • 1/2 tsp salt optional
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, making sure the potatoes are well coated with the mayonnaise.
  • Place potato mixture in a 2- quart baking dish (you can also use a 9 x 9- or 11 x 7-inch pan)
  • You may sprinkle a bit of extra cheese on the top, but that is optional.
  • Bake for 90 minutes or until potatoes are done in the center of the casserole.
  • SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS:
  • Mix all ingredients and place in a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours, high 4-6 hours.
  • Bear in mind the top will not brown in the slow cooker.

Notes

You may substitute the fresh potatoes for an equal amount of frozen southern-style hash browns. If you don't defrost the frozen potatoes, extend the bake time 15-30 minutes.
You don't have to bother peeling the fresh potatoes. Just make sure to scrub them well before dicing.
