Ingredients
Scale
- 6 pounds Russet potatoes
- 3–4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 + 1/4 cups mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (plus a few sprinkles more!)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 + 1/2 pounds thick-cut butcher’s bacon, cooked and coarsely chopped
- 5–6 green onions, chopped
- 2 cups medium cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Move oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- With a potato brush, scrub potatoes clean under running water. Dry off potatoes with a dish towel.
- Using a fork, pierce potatoes 3-4 times on each side and transfer to a baking tray. Brush all sides of the potatoes with olive oil.
- Bake the potatoes for approximately 45 minutes until tender. You’ll know they’re done when you can run a knife straight through the potatoes without resistance.
- On the baking tray, cut each potato into four pieces to allow steam to escape. Allow potatoes to cool for 10 minutes. Using a knife and your fingertips, remove the potato skins.
- Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl. For a beautiful flavor, sprinkle the cooled potatoes with apple cider vinegar.
- In a small mixing bowl blend the mayonnaise, sour cream, salt and pepper together with a spatula.
- Pour wet mixture over the potatoes. Using a spatula gently fold in the mixture.
- Gently fold in remaining ingredients: bacon, green onions and cheddar cheese.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
