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.

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.
BAKED POTATO SALAD
A unique potato salad! Potatoes are baked with oil and Italian salad dressing mix instead of boiled. I usually omit the tomato because I find it gets mealy and doesn't hold up. From "Taste of Home"

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes. Yukon Gold, russet, and red potatoes all work well in potato salad.
- Boil the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy. You want them to hold their shape when you toss them with the other ingredients.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the potato salad from becoming watery.
- Use a light hand when dressing the potato salad. You don't want to overwhelm the potatoes with too much mayonnaise or other dressing.
- Add some fresh herbs or vegetables to the potato salad for extra flavor. Chopped celery, onion, or dill are all good options.
- Serve the potato salad immediately, or chill it for later. Potato salad is best when served fresh, but it can also be made ahead of time and chilled for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Baked potato salad is a classic summer dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy dressing, tender potatoes, and flavorful add-ins, it's the perfect side dish for any barbecue, picnic, or potluck. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious potato salad recipe, give this one a try.
