Time 3h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 8 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 small russet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices bacon
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
6 ounces sharp Cheddar, cut into 1/3-inch cubes (about the size of a pea)
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated

Steps:

  • Position 2 racks in the center of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes, then prick each all over 8 to 10 times with a fork. Rub the butter evenly on the potatoes, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet with at least 1 inch of space between them.
  • Put the bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place both baking sheets in the oven, the bacon below the potatoes. Cook the bacon, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, 18 to 20 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, let cool and then crumble. Bake the potatoes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and a small knife inserted in the center goes in and out without any resistance, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board and let cool completely, about 2 hours; quarter each cooled potato lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, bacon, Cheddar and white parts of the scallions, and gently stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with the scallion greens right before serving.

Categories     Salad     Side Dish

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds russet potatoes (, about 6 medium-size)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
8 slices bacon (, cooked and chopped)
5 green onions (, chopped)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and freshly ground black pepper (, to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash potatoes and prick them with a fork or knife.
  • Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until they are fork tender. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  • At this point you can peel all of them, or peel half of them and leave the skin on the other half to get a real baked potato feel. Cut the potatoes into small, pieces.
  • Combine the sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl and stir well.
  • Add the potatoes to a large serving bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Add the sauce (just enough to coat them well--you may not use it all) and gently stir to coat.
  • Add most of the bacon, onion and cheese, reserving some for topping at the end, and gently stir to combine.

  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before adding the other ingredients: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
  • Use a light hand when adding the mayonnaise: You don't want the salad to be too heavy or greasy.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings until the salad is flavorful.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will help to develop the flavors and make the salad more refreshing.
