To make this delicious potato salad, start by baking the potatoes and removing the flesh. While the potato is still warm, sprinkle with apple cider vinegar and rest for 15-30 minutes or until cool. Cook bacon in a large skillet and drain excess oil. Leave to cool before crumbling into bite-size pieces. Combine mayo and sour cream to make a dressing. Mix the dressing with the potatoes, crumbled bacon, green onion, and Cheddar cheese. Season to taste and chill for 3 hours or overnight before serving.
To make my Loaded Baked Potato Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
Place 4 pounds of cleaned potatoes on a baking sheet. Pierce each one 4-5 times with a fork and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt, and cook for 50-60 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork or skewer. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Transfer the chunks to a large bowl and discard the jackets.
Sprinkle the potato flesh with 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and leave to rest for 15-30 minutes until the potatoes are cooled.
Fry the bacon in a large skillet. Once cooked, drain and leave to cool. Crumble the bacon into bite-size pieces.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise and ¾ cup of sour cream. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
Once the potatoes are cool, add the dressing to them. Top with the crumbled bacon, green onion, and Cheddar cheese. Gently fold all of the ingredients together. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
Serve chilled.
