Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, washed and cut in half
- 6–8 strips bacon, cooked until crispy
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3–4 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Cool Down: Once tender, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool completely.
- Crisp the Bacon: While the potatoes are cooling, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
- Chop the Bacon: Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to soak up excess grease, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix it Up: In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, chopped bacon, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a gentle mix until well combined.
- Chill: For the best flavor, chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Don’t skip chilling it; it thickens and enhances the flavors. Feel free to customize with additional veggies or cheese types.
