Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes, leaving the skins on. Cut them into bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

Place the potato cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle them with olive oil, then sprinkle on the salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels. Once cool, crumble into small pieces.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth.

Step 7

Thinly slice the green onions and add them to the dressing mixture along with the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped parsley. Stir until well combined.

Step 8

Once the baked potatoes have cooled slightly, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 9

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving for a cold version. Garnish with additional parsley or green onions if desired.
