Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 45 servings

  • 10 pounds red potatoes

  • 2 pounds bacon

  • 8 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

  • 4 cups processed cheese sauce

  • 2 cups sour cream

  • 2 cups mayonnaise

  • 2 large onions, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon minced chives

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, cool, and cut into cubes.

  2. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, occasionally turning until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.

  3. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-quart baking dish.

  4. Combine potatoes and bacon in a large bowl. Mix Cheddar cheese, cheese sauce, sour cream, mayonnaise, onions, chives, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir cheese mixture into potatoes; transfer to baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

  5. Bake in the preheated for 50 minutes; remove foil and continue baking until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
