Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 4 slices Cooked bacon
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly, pat them dry, and cut them into bite-sized cubes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Spread the potatoes in a single layer and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until they are tender and golden brown. Shake the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, and Dijon mustard in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until smooth.

Step 6

Finely chop the green onions, crumble the cooked bacon, and shred the cheddar cheese if not already shredded. Set these aside.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooled potatoes to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat all the potatoes evenly.

Step 9

Fold in the green onions, bacon, and cheddar cheese, reserving a small amount of each for garnish.

Step 10

Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the reserved green onions, bacon, cheddar cheese, and fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 11

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
