How to Make The Ultimate Baked Potato Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and pierce 2 lbs of russet potatoes several times with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for 50-60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
  3. While potatoes bake, prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, combine 3 cups shredded Sargento cheese (or your favorite blend), 1 cup mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion.
  4. Once potatoes are cooked and slightly cooled, slice them lengthwise. Arrange the potato halves in a greased 13x9-inch baking dish, cut-side up.
  5. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  6. Sprinkle the potato mixture with 1/2 cup cooked bacon crumbles, 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), and 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
  9. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
