HOT POTATO SALAD

Hot Potato Salad

Ingredients:

8 medium potatoes - slice into thick slices 

1 pound of bacon - fry until crisp 
(my daughter bakes her bacon till crispy)

1 cup mayonnaise (you can use Miracle Whip)

1/2 cup chopped onions

1 pound american cheese - cut into slices (Velveeta is fine)
   I refrigerate the cheese, it's easier to slice

Cook potatoes until almost done (boiled about 15 minutes) - this cuts down on baking time.
Drain potatoes. 
Spray a casserole pan with cooking spray.
Layer potatoes, onion, cheese, mayonnaise, and crumbled bacon into alternating layers. (At least 2 layers thick. Better if there is more.)
Make sure to finish with a layer of bacon.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 40 minutes (until cheese is melted and bubbly but not burnt)

Can serve hot or warm. Easy to reheat.
Recipe can be doubled
