While this delicious potato skillet is a wonderful side dish, we find it satisfying enough to be a main course, too. The skillet preparation takes less time than it does to bake an au gratin casserole or scalloped potatoes—but it's still good old-fashioned comfort food at its best! —Marie Peterson, DeForest, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 6 bacon strips, diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cups peeled cooked potatoes, sliced

  • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas, cooked and drained
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  1. In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels. Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. In the drippings, saute onion until tender.
