This was really good. We used more sour cream, less mayo, mixed in green onion and used frozen cubed potatos instead of fresh. I made them ahead of time, we cooked them the next night on a camping trip.

YUMMY!! I did make a few slight changes based on what other reviewers had tried. I used half mayo and half sour cream and left out the olives cause it just didn't seem to fit with the recipe. I only had small red potatoes on hand so I boiled those whole with skin on and then smashed into large chunks before adding to the other ingredients. Since I boiled the potatoes until they were soft, I was able to cut back on the amount of cooking time to 30 minutes which allowed all the ingredients to melt and heat through. I don't think I will add any salt next time because the bacon added enough salt. This recipe is definitely a new favorite way to make potatoes. I am also anxious to try it as a traditional cold salad as some have suggested.

My family love this recipe. I used Yukon Gold's and I think I would do the same in the future. This just had a great flover and texture.

I loved this dish, and so did my family. I made it for a bbq, so delicious. I left out the olives though and it still tasted wonderful. I will definitely make it again.

I took this to a 4th of July potluck and it was the first thing gone. Everyone was talking about it! Like other reviewers suggested, I left out the olives and replaced with green onions. I also used about 3 cups of casserole cheese, 2 cups of sour cream and a 1/2 cup of mayo. Since some reviewers thought it was a bit bland, I added a few dashes of garlic salt as well. I mixed everything together and topped with another 1/2 cup of cheese and more crumbled bacon. I only had time to bake for about 40 minutes but it was definitely done. I will definitely be making this again and again! Thanks!

My whole family LOVE this recipe. The only things I do different is I use 16oz of sour cream and no mayo, mix all the bacon in before putting in oven, and half way through cooking I semi-mash up the mixture and sprinkle more cheese on top.

Recipe was very good. I made it for a crowd to accompany steaks. I was planning to grill dinner so it was alot easier than preparing baked potatoes for everyone. I followed the advice of others and used the sourcream/mayo combo and I used cheddar cheese and I used fresh scallions. I prepared the recipe early in the day and cooked the potatoes till they were 90% done. Then I placed everything in a disposable foil tray, so when it was time to grill, I just placed the pan on the grill for about 35 minutes. It was easy and delicious.

I was not enthralled with this recipe. My guests did really like it but I thought it was OK. It really needed something to amke it special. Possibly a more robust cheese would help. I have had a dish very similar to this that was fantastic and thought this was the same recipe but obviously not.

Made this in my crock pot and it turned out great! Used red potatoes, quartered and covered in water for about 6 hours on low, drained and stirred in other ingredients when I got home and let it go on high while I finished the rest of dinner! How easy and delicious!!! Had people over for dinner that night, and they raved over it. Used the 1/2 mayo 1/2 sour cream suggestion and green onions. WOW!

Oh my goodness, this stuff is amazing! I have made it SEVERAL times, enough that I'm somewhat known for it now, and pretty much stick to the recipe every time. The changes I do make: 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream, the bacon goes in with all ingredients rather than just on top, and I add some Velveeta with the other ingredients and sprinkle Cheddar (or whatever is on hand) on the top. The Velveeta gives it a more cheesy flavor. Also, the onions get cooked with the bacon. This is a very unhealthy and delicious recipe! :)

We decided not to use mayo. I can't imagine it even tasting that well. Mayo is more of a cold food thing. Also we left the Olives out. However we did ad some potatoes from the scalloped potatoes we'd had a few nights back. Taste wonderful.

oh yes! i followed the suggestions from others about just using sour cream instead of the mayo. it was missing something, so i added a couple tablespoons of miracle whip. PERFECT! my husband loved it, i loved it, even my picky 13 year old daughter was impressed! just delish. oh, i didn't bother boiling the potatoes first. i peeled them and microwaved them 5 minutes, flip and 5 more minutes. then cut them up and mixed them in with pre-made real bacon pieces from a bag. made prep time super short. also, cut up 3 or 4 chives from my herb garden. great addition! thanks for the recipe!

I love this recipe. I make every year for a family reunion. It is always one of the first things to go. I cook the onions in some bacon juice to make them a bit softer. I also use cheddar cheese instead of american. I use a half cup of mayo and a half cup of sour cream for better taste and I omit the olives.

This recipe is just okay. I was expecting more of a potato salad, but I would definitely put this in the casserole category. I used sour cream instead of mayo and omitted the olives. It was very thick and clumpy. For the record, it is NOT good eaten cold--it just tastes like cold mashed potatoes when it cools. Most of my guests enjoyed it, though.

I made this dish the other night as i had bag of red potatoes that had to be used up, i changed the recipe somewhat following other reviews. I used half cup mayo, and 1/2 cup sour cream. also i hate american cheese so i used mozzarella in its place. it really was not all that flavorful, probably wont make again.

I used red potatoes with the skin left on, shredded cheddar, and sour cream in place of the mayo. I omitted the olives and used green onion and I thought it was pretty good. I think next time I may add a small amount of mayo to give it a little zip. I mixed everything together, including the bacon, while the potatoes were hot so the cheese melted. Over all it tasted a lot like a twice baked potato. By the way, I didn't even bake it as I didn't have time and it tasted fine. I had leftovers so I'll probably throw it in the oven tomorrow and see how that goes.

Just plain delicious! A great side dish for a BBQ or any meal that you want a scrumptious potato side. I use half mayo/light sour cream, cheddar and green onions. I recently made it for a camping potluck...we got to the table a bit late and everyone had served and seated. But once one person got up to get some of the dish....they all jumped up to get a serving and raved about it - the dish was scraped clean! This has become a special request side dish with our bunch!
