🥔 What Are Mississippi Mud Potatoes?
The name might make you laugh, but once you try them, you’ll be hooked. Just like Mississippi Mud Pie, this dish gets its name from its rich, indulgent nature — these potatoes are anything but dainty!
They’re a delicious blend of diced potatoes, crispy bacon, creamy sour cream, and tons of cheese, all baked until hot, bubbly, and golden brown on top. Basically, if loaded baked potatoes and cheesy casserole had a Southern baby — this would be it.
