1

Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with salted water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, let cool, and cut into cubes.
2

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels and crumble it.
3

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-quart baking dish.
4

Combine the potatoes and bacon in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the Cheddar cheese, cheese sauce, sour cream, mayonnaise, onions, chives, salt, and pepper. Stir the cheese mixture into the potatoes, transfer to the baking dish, and cover with aluminum foil.
5

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes; remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
