Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Boil sliced potatoes until tender but still firm, then drain and combine them in a bowl with cheese, onion, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, bacon, and olives. Finally, bake the mixture in the preheated oven for an hour until golden brown.

I'm excited to share my recipe for Baked Potato Salad, a comforting and flavorful dish perfect for potlucks or family gatherings. This salad combines tender potatoes, melted cheese, crispy bacon, and a tangy mayonnaise dressing, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
The star of this salad is the potatoes. I recommend using a starchy variety like Russet potatoes, which hold their shape well during boiling and baking. After slicing the potatoes, I boil them until they're fork-tender but still slightly firm. This is crucial because overcooked potatoes can become mushy and lose their texture. Once boiled, the potatoes are drained and allowed to cool slightly.
