Main Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes Scrubbed and pierced with a fork before baking.
  • 1 cup sour cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Can substitute with a plant-based alternative for a vegan version.
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped Adds a crispy crunch.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Consider using pepper jack for a zesty kick.

  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust according to preference.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool.
  • Once cooled, chop the potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure a nice mix of flavors in every bite.
  • In a large bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
  • Add the chopped potatoes, bacon, cheese, and scallions to the bowl. Toss gently to combine, being careful not to mash the potatoes.
  • Adjust seasoning if needed, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

This salad stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For added flavor, let it sit at room temperature or enjoy it chilled.
