Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious salad:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and prick them a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly after baking.
- Once cooled, peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Place the potato pieces in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently fold until the potatoes are well coated.
- Add in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Stir to combine evenly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Once chilled, serve your Truly Baked Potato Salad in a nice bowl, and watch it disappear at your next gathering!
