Ingredients
- 4 pounds russet potatoes (about 6 medium), washed and patted dry
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Apple cider vinegar, optional
- 8 slices bacon
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup light sour cream
- 1/2 cup of your favorite mayonnaise
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
Directions
- Heat oven to 400 F. Toss potatoes with olive oil and kosher salt, place in oven and bake for 1 hour, or until done. Let cool, 10 to 15 minutes, peel if desired, and then cut into 1-inch cubes. Splash the potato cubes with a bit of apple cider vinegar and allow the cubes to cool (optional).
- Cut bacon in half, lengthwise and then slice into small squares. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.
- Combine 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese and sour cream, mayonnaise, and most of the scallions in a large bowl. Stir in potatoes and crumbled bacon.
- Refrigerate salad before serving, 4 hours to overnight.
- Garnish with remaining cheese and scallions when ready to serve.
