German Potato Casserole Recipe

Prep: 35 min. Bake: 40 min.

Yield: 16-20 Servings

35 40 75

Ingredients

5 pounds red potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 pound sliced bacon, diced
8 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups mayonnaise
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 pound process cheese (Velveeta), cubed

Directions

Place potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain.
In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings.
In a large bowl, gently toss the potatoes, bacon, eggs, onion, salt and pepper. Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and reserved bacon drippings; add to potato mixture and toss to coat.
Divide half of the mixture between one greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish and one 9-in. square baking dish. Top with half of the cheese cubes. Repeat layers. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Yield: 16-20 servings.

We are from San Antonio which has a lot of German influance in and around surrounding areas. Was given this recipe a few years ago and tried it out for Thanksgiving. It was a hit. Needles to say I had lost the recipe and hubby was asking for me to cook it. So TG I found it here. Printing and saving. Never losing again. Absolute keeper.

If this recipe is to large just cut it in half. It is easy to do!
