Step 1:

Here's everything you'll need to make oven-baked potatoes with cheese and mayonnaise.
Step 2:

Scrub the potatoes well. Put them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then salt the water, lower the heat to medium, and cook until just half-tender, about 10 minutes. You can peel the potatoes first if you prefer.
Step 3:

While the potatoes cook, make the sauce. Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press, then stir it into the mayonnaise. Grate the cheese.
Step 4:

Peel the onion and cut it into thin rings or half-moons. Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onion until golden, stirring now and then so it doesn't burn.
Step 5:

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. If you used large or medium potatoes, cut each one in half; small potatoes can be left whole.
Step 6:

Add the garlic-mayo sauce to the potatoes and gently fold everything together with a big spoon.
Step 7:

Spread the dressed potatoes in a baking dish as the first layer.
Step 8:

Next, scatter on the sauteed onion.
Step 9:

Then sprinkle cheese evenly over the top.
Step 10:

Repeat the layers in the same order one more time. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 30 minutes. (Times and temperatures vary, so go by what you know about your oven.) Alternatively, cover the dish with foil, bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue until the cheese is browned. Baking time can run longer or shorter depending on the potato variety; test for doneness with a toothpick.
Step 11:

Sprinkle the finished dish with your favorite fresh herbs and a little ground pepper. How deeply you brown the cheese crust is up to you.

There are countless ways to bake potatoes in the oven, and this is just one of them. You can leave the skins on or peel them, and any cheese you like will work. Enjoy!
