Instructions

Chop potatoes into bite size pieces and place them in a large pot of lightly salted water. Place the pot on the stove and heat over high heat to boiling. Once boiling reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 8-12 minutes or until fork tender.

When the potatoes are finished place them in a colander and rinse with cold water for a few minutes to cool completely.

While the potatoes are cooking slice the green onions into thin pieces, cutting about halfway up the green part. Chop the bacon into small pieces.

In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, onion powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika mix thoroughly.

Add your potatoes to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. Add in green onions, bacon, and shredded cheese, fold until everything is evenly mixed.

Keep covered and chilled until ready to serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Warm Potato Dressing Technique 🥔
Dress the potatoes while they're still warm so they absorb the creamy mixture better, resulting in more flavorful and cohesive salad throughout.
Bacon Rendering for Maximum Flavor 🥓
Reserve the bacon fat and whisk it into your sour cream and mayo base to add rich, smoky depth that elevates the entire dish.
Bloom Your Spices in Fat 🧅
Toast the smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder briefly in the bacon fat before mixing into the dressing to unlock their full aromatic potential.
Strategic Potato Cutting 🔪
Cut red-skinned potatoes into uniform ½-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and allow each piece to absorb the creamy dressing evenly.
Fresh Green Onion Timing ✂️
Reserve half the green onions to stir in just before serving, keeping their fresh bite and vibrant color as a finishing touch.
