  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.

In the prepared baking pan, mix together the diced potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled turkey bacon, minced garlic, and chopped onion.

Toss the ingredients until evenly distributed.

3️⃣ Add the Mayonnaise:

Add the mayonnaise to the potato mixture.

Stir thoroughly to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated in the creamy mixture.

4️⃣ Bake:

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 1/2 hours.

Stir the mixture halfway through cooking for even baking.

Bake until the potatoes are tender, and the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.

5️⃣ Serve:

Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

Serve hot and enjoy the irresistible combination of creamy, cheesy, and turkey bacon-filled goodness!
