Mississippi Mud Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:

3–4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

½ cup sour cream

¼ cup mayonnaise (optional for creaminess)

2–3 green onions, chopped

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Prepare the potatoes: Toss diced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Spread evenly in the baking dish.

3. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.

4. Mix in the goodness: Remove foil. Add cheese, bacon, sour cream, and mayo (if using). Mix gently to coat the potatoes.

5. Bake again: Return to oven uncovered for another 10–15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Top and serve: Sprinkle with green onions before serving.
