How to bake potatoes in the oven with cheese and mayonnaise? Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

Wash the potatoes well with a brush under running water. Put the tubers in a saucepan and cover with water. Put on a high heat, after boiling, salt the water. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until half cooked for about 10 minutes. You can also peel potatoes first, if desired.

While the potatoes cook, we will make a sauce. Peel the garlic from the husks and pass through the press. Mix with mayonnaise. Grate the cheese on a fine or coarse grater, there is no difference.

Peel the onion from the husks and cut into thin rings, or half rings. In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil and fry the onion in it until golden. You need to periodically mix the onion so that it does not burn.

Drain the pan, cool the potatoes slightly. If the potatoes were used in large or medium sizes, then cut each tuber in half. If small potatoes were used, then you can further use it entirely.

Add the garlic and mayonnaise sauce to the potatoes and stir gently using a large spoon.

Put the potatoes with mayonnaise in the first layer of the baking tin.

Then lay out the fried onions.

And sprinkle evenly with cheese on top.

Repeat all layers in the same order again. Send to the oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes (time and temperature can vary, focus on the possibilities of your oven). Alternatively, you can cover the tin with potatoes with foil, bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and leave until the cheese is brown. From the potato variety, the baking time may increase, or vice versa, decrease. It is possible to check the readiness of potatoes using a toothpick.

Sprinkle the finished potatoes with onions and cheese over the top with your favorite greens and ground peppers (optional). Determine the intensity of the cheese crust baking according to your taste. Enjoy your meal!
