Prep Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds small potatoes I like Yukon Gold, halved or quartered to bite-sized pieces
  • 5 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot with some salt (A tablespoon or so) and cover with water by at least 3 inches. Bring the water to a boil and boil the potatoes uncovered for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking and cooling I like to prep the bacon, scallions, and cheddar.
  • Whisk the sour cream, mayo, vinegar, salt, and pepper in the bottom of a large bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference. The dressing will be slightly salty; potatoes absorb a lot of salt.
  • Add the potatoes and most of the cheddar, bacon, and scallions (saving a bit for the top) to the bowl with the dressing. Toss together and taste; add more salt and pepper if you'd like.
  • Top the salad with the reserved cheddar, bacon, scallions, and some extra pepper.
  • Can be kept in the fridge for a day or so or served right away. YUM.
