Description

A creamy and indulgent baked potato salad with crispy bacon, sharp cheddar, and fresh green onions, perfect for summer picnics or potlucks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900g) russet potatoes
  • 6 slices crispy bacon
  • 1 cup (100g) sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 stalks green onions
  • ½ cup (120ml) mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup (60ml) sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Bake the russet potatoes for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Cool and dice the potatoes into fluffy but firm chunks.
  5. Add shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions to the potatoes.
  6. Prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. Combine the dressing with the potato mixture and toss gently.
  8. Fold in the crispy bacon pieces.
  9. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For maximum crunch, add bacon just before serving. Can be made a day in advance without the bacon.
