- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 6 slices bacon
- 4 green onions
- 1 cup medium cheddar cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean the potatoes under running water, poke holes in them, and coat with olive oil and kosher salt.
Bake the potatoes for 50-60 minutes until fork-tender, then let them cool for 10-15 minutes.
Peel the skins and chop the potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
While warm, sprinkle with apple cider vinegar and let rest for 15-30 minutes to absorb flavors.
Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble into small pieces.
Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, kosher salt, and pepper in a bowl until creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, bacon, green onions, and cheddar cheese. Pour the dressing over and mix well.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.
- Vinegar Boost: Sprinkle vinegar on warm potatoes to enhance flavor absorption.
