Ingredients
•
2 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed
•
3/4 thick slice bacon, divided
•
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
•
3/4 cup sour cream
•
1/4 cup mayonnaise
•
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
•
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Prick potatoes several times with a fork and transfer to a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
3
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay bacon strips in a single layer. Transfer baking sheet to the oven while potatoes are baking, cooking bacon until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
4
Remove cooked potatoes from oven and set aside to cool.
5
Crumble cooled bacon and cut potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Peel the potatoes or leave the skins on, depending on your preference.
6
Combine most of the bacon, most of the Cheddar cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Stir to blend. Add diced potatoes and toss gently to coat with a spatula.
7
Sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese and bacon over the top of the salad before serving.
