Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Mississippi Mud Potatoes

  4. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with foil.
  5. Bake covered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  6. Remove foil, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with green onions and serving.

Notes

Ensure uniform dicing of potatoes for even cooking. Covering the dish during the first bake retains moisture for creaminess. Experiment with cheese blends for varied flavors.
