Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 pounds red potatoes diced
- 1 pound Bacon
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 5 tems green onions can use the green and white part, just cut off the roots. The white part needs to be chopped a little more finely
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add diced potatoes and bring the temperature down to medium heat. Boil the potatoes 10-12 minutes until tender when pierced by a fork. Rinse with cool water to cool the potatoes then drain and dry well.
- Chop the bacon into small pieces and place in a cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook the bacon until crisp while stirring frequently for, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel.
- In a bowl combine mayonnaise, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika and mix well.
- Remove the white root part from the green onions, then chop the tender green part of the onion and the rest of the white part of the onion for the salad.
- Add the mayonnaise mixture to the potatoes and stir to coat. Add green onions, bacon, and shredded cheese to the potatoes and stir until everything is evenly mixed.
- Cover the bowl and cool in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving for the perfect potato salad. This potato salad recipe is best served cold.

Notes
- Setting aside a little of the green onions, cheese and bacon make a delicious garnish to make the dish look a little prettier on the table.
- You can use the white parts of the green onion, but chop the white part a little smaller. The white part tends to be a little more fibrous and have a little more onion flavor.
- Plain greek yogurt can be swapped for the mayonnaise and sour cream.
