Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

Boil the Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set aside.

02

Step
10 mins

Cook the Bacon: While the potatoes are boiling, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and reserve.

03

Step
5 mins

Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.

04

Step
5 mins

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked potatoes, cheddar cheese, sweet pickle relish, red onion, and sliced green olives. Add the mayonnaise, celery salt, and a generous grind of black pepper. Mix until well combined.

05

Step
2 mins

Bake: Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the top.

06

Step
40 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are lightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

For best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and slightly sweet flavor.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Gruyere, for a unique flavor profile.
If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise mixture.
This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Simply assemble the salad in the baking dish, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
