Make this to go along with a fancy ham or turkey dinner – or for a simple supper. Delicious!
1 lb Velveeta cheese
2 cups Kraft mayonnaise
2 lb pkg frozen hash browns, thawed (check to see if gluten-free)
1 large onion, chopped
3 oz jar REAL bacon bits
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a microwave, melt the cheese in a large microwaveable bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, potatoes and onions. Spread in a 9×13 inch baking dish and top with bacon bits.
Bake for 1 hour until hot and bubbly.
Skinny Version: Use light Kraft mayonnaise and light Velveeta cheese.
Comments on Cheesy Potatoes

Just curious if you’ve double checked. I think I’ve looked into both only one time but I thought that both Velveeta cheese and Kraft mayonnaise where in fact not gluten free. I think the cheese has food starch in it.
Do you now for sure?
Larraine @ 1:18 pm
Aaron – I’m double checked for you. Kraft Mayo has NO gluten. Neither does Velveeta Cheese. When you look at food starches, look specifically for “wheat starch.” Other starches are fine.
Darlene @ 8:01 pm
Checked with the dietition who said if the ingredient just says food starch dont buy it because that would most likey be made with wheat starch and we should not take a chance. This gets really hard. I’m going to use this receipt only I am going to use chedder cheese.

just found out my husband has celiac’s. was looking for a cheesy potato recipe and noticed one of yours posted has frozen hashbrown’s in it, I just checked the bag in my freezer and it is not gluten free. What brand of hash brown’s do you use?
Larraine @ 8:04 pm
I buy my hash browns at Smiths (Kroeger). I’m not sure what brand.
