Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 2- to 2 1/2-quart oval casserole or baking dish with cooking spray.

• Set 1/4 cup of the bacon aside for garnish. Gently fold mayonnaise, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and remaining bacon into the mashed potatoes. Spoon mixture into baking dish. Bake uncovered 25 minutes. Sprinkle top with reserved bacon and remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with green onions.

MISSISSIPPI MASH

Steps:

• 1. Saute the sliced onions in the bacon grease or shortening until golden brown over a medium heat.
• 2. Slice the potatoes very thin and layer on the smothered onions, careful to season with salt/pepper/garlic powder on each layer of potatoes.
• 3. Stir often while cooking over a medium heat with a lid covering the skillet.
• 4. As the potatoes soften, use the end of the spatula to mash and break the potatoes up. The onions will get browner and caramelize more! Enjoy.
