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.

Time 8h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds potatoes, peeled
15 slices bacon
1 (16 ounce) container reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons dried chives
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, and allow to cool to room temperature. Dice once cooled.
  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool, and crumble the bacon into a large bowl.
  • Place the cooled potatoes into the bowl with the bacon, and mix in the sour cream, mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, chives, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate overnight before serving.
