This dish was so simple to make. I made a very large amount of it as a last minute side dish for a party I hosted. I was afraid but chose this recipe because of the ratings. All my guests LOVED it! Everyone asked me where I got the recipe and that they've never had a potato dish like this before. I will definately make it again.

I cubed the potatoes, added a couple squirts of ranch dressing, used marble cheddar and omitted the olives. I topped the dish with half the bacon and some snipped chives. We loved it!!

Moooooo - this is so bad for you, but oh so good - Made this for a bunko party - first I used a bigger pan so I increased the potatoes to 12 - used a pound of bacon and I mixed half in with the mixture. I also used 3/4 cup mayo and added a cup of sour cream (used "light" on both). I saved a bit of the cheese (used cheddar) and added it on top with the rest of the bacon and sliced green onions halfway through cooking. And....here is the really bad part....I added about a half of a cup of the bacon grease into the mix. I also used garlic salt. Basically, you can make it any way you want - how can you fail with these ingredients? Thanks!!

I made this recipe for a family reunion and it went so fast I didn't even get a chance to try it! It must be super yummy though as I had people asking for the recipe months later! Every time we have a family get together they start raving about it all over again. Guess one of these days I'll have to break down and try it myself.

this was the first allrecipes recipe I tried and it had me hooked! I've tried very low fat versions and the completely sinful ones of this recipe with great results everytime! Being a herb-lover, I add a nice bit of chopped green herbs to the mix which infuse alot of flavor into the potatoes while baking... I don't eat pork and tried different kinds of meat as the topping... this recipe's a really good base to work with.. thanks!

This is just like a big baked potato. Yum. For ease I used precooked bacon and Cheez Whiz, which made it a snap, and then put green onions on the top when it was finished cooking. I took this to Thanksgiving dinner with the inlaws and there was nothing left!

Very good! Of course I tweaked it just a little. Instead of the processed American cheese I used a two cup bag of shredded sharp ceddar cheese; shallots instead of onion; 1/2c mayo & 1/2c sour cream; 2 cloves garlic. I threw the shallot & garlic in with the bacon during the last stages of cooking and then topped the potatoes. I left the olives out but that my personal taste. This really turned out to be a great recipe! Thanks!

Such an easy recipe and so yummy. Everyone at the picnic loved it! Next time I make it I would like to add the sourcream as many others have, I think that would enhance the flavor even more...

I needed a side dish to take to a barbeque and this was perfect! It's just like a potato skin, only in casserole form. I used Yukon Gold potatoes and light Velveeta cheese. And instead of mayo, I used 1/4 cup light mayo and 3/4 cup fat-free sour cream. It was fantastic, thank you!

It's rare I find a hit with everyone in my family but this recipe made the cut. I made a few alterations however. I did not put the american cheese in with the potatoes and mayo, instead I put in about a cup of cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon , I baked it for about 35 minutes and then put a layer of american cheese on top. I put that in the oven until the cheese melted and then I put on a layer of sour cream, topped with crumbled bacon and sliced green onion tops. I omitted the black olives for my family. The true taste of a baked potatoe in a dish that everyone can easily enjoy. Everyone had seconds!!! Thanks for a keeper!!

Family enjoyed this dish. Omitted the olives due to personal preference. Used maple bacon because I think the maple flavor goes better with potato soups/dishes.
