Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds russet potatoes (about 7 medium potatoes)
  • 6 green onions thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Prick the potatoes with a fork and bake them on a baking tray or in a baking dish at 350ºF for 50-60 minutes, until fork tender. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

  • Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth.

  • When potatoes are cooled, remove the skin—it should pull away easily, or you can peel them with a knife—and dice into ½-¾ inch chunks.
  • Put the potatoes in a large bowl.
  • Toss the potatoes with the green onions, bacon, and cheese.

  • Pour the dressing over the top, and toss to combine.
  • Garnish with additional cheese, green onions, and/or bacon if desired, and serve.

Notes

  • Storage: Store your potato salad in an airtight container or in Ziploc bags in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze: As this recipe uses mayonnaise, I wouldn't recommend freezing it. When potatoes are frozen and defrosted, they often have a different texture, which isn't always desirable. I'd recommend making this dish fresh. You can prep it ahead of time to save time when you're wanting to serve it!
