Ingredients
- 3 lbs red potatoes cleaned, cut each potato into 4 pieces
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese grated
- 8 slices bacon fried until crispy
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- pepper if you like
Instructions
- Scrub your red potatoes, then cut each potato into 4 pieces. If the red potatoes are larger, cut them into 6 pieces.
- Place the cut potatoes into a large pot. Fill with water until it's just covering the potatoes. Add salt and place on stovetop over medium heat.
- Gently boil potatoes until they are just tender. I like to use a pairing knife to check. If you can easily slide the knife into the center, you're potatoes are done.
- Immediately remove the potatoes and strain them. Then run cold water over the potatoes to stop the cooking process. Run the cold water over the potatoes until they cool.
- Once the potatoes are cool, add the sour cream.
- Then add the mayo. Mix until the potatoes are coated well.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the chopped crispy bacon.
- Add the chopped chives, then mix until combined. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed
- Cover and refrigerate for a couple hours up to a day before serving.
