Instructions

Arrange the oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 325ºF (163ºC). Butter a 9X13 inch baking dish, or spray with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine diced potatoes (2 1/2 pounds), mayonnaise (1 cup), sour cream (1/2 cup), both types of cheese, crumbled bacon (1 pound), onion (1/2 cup), garlic, salt (1 teaspoon), pepper (1/2 teaspoon), and paprika (1/2 teaspoon) until potatoes are evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
Bake, uncovered in preheated oven until potatoes are tender and the top is golden, about 1 1/2 hours.
Sprinkle with green onions (1/4 cup) and serve.

Notes

Planning: This recipe is simple and easy. It just takes a little time to peel and dice the potatoes, so plan ahead.
Bake or Pan Fry: For the bacon, you can bake the slices on a sheet pan or fry them in a pan. Whichever is easier for you.
- For the sheet pan method: Place bacon slices on parchment paper and bake at 400 degrees until crispy. Cool and crumble.
- For the frying pan method: I dice the bacon first (raw) then crisp the pieces in the pan on medium-high heat. I always save the bacon grease for later!
