Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound Bacon
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ cup fresh chives chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Use a fork to pierce the potatoes all over. Then rub the outside of each potato with olive oil and season generously with salt. Place onto a baking sheet.
- Bake the potatoes for 1 hour, or until fork-tender. Remove from the oven.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, chop them into bite-sized chunks. (If preferred, you can remove some of the skins before chopping.) Place the chopped potatoes into a large bowl and pop that into the refrigerator until chilled through, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- While the potatoes chill, cook the bacon. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add strips of bacon until the skillet is full and cook until crispy, flipping as needed. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining bacon. Once the bacon has cooled, chop or crumble it into small pieces.
- Add the mayo, sour cream, cheese, crumbled bacon, chives in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add the potatoes and stir again until are evenly coated in the dressing.
- Check the seasoning and add salt and pepper to your taste. Garnish the top with some extra cheese, bacon, and chives if desired. Serve chilled.
