Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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.

Notes

  • Vinegar Boost: Sprinkle vinegar on warm potatoes to enhance flavor absorption.
  • Bacon Perfection: Bake bacon on a lined tray for less mess.
  • Optimal Potato Choice: Use starchy russet potatoes for a creamy texture.
  • Dress It Right: Ensure your dressing is well-mixed.
  • Chill Time Matters: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours for best flavor.
