| Preparation Time | 15-25 minutes |
| Cooking Time | 60 minutes |
| Total Time | 75-85 minutes |
| Level of Difficulty | Medium |
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sliced green olives
- pepper
- 1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled (crispy texture preferred)
- 1 cup mayonnaise (I prefer Hellmann’s for this recipe)
- 9 medium potatoes (cooked and cubed to about 1-inch pieces)
- salt
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 lb Velveeta cheese, cubed
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C).
This will ensure it’s at the correct temperature when you’re ready to bake the dish.
Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients: potatoes, mayonnaise, cheese, and onion.
Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix once more to incorporate the seasoning.
Step 3: Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Pour the potato mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 4: Add Toppings
Top the potato mixture with bacon pieces and olives, spreading them evenly over the surface.
These toppings will add flavorful and textural contrast to the dish.
Step 5: Bake the Dish
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.
The dish should be golden brown and bubbly when done.
Remove the dish from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and then serve hot.
