Sour Cream and Green Onion Potato Salad with Bacon

I could eat an entire bag of sour cream and onion potato chips if left to my own devices! I developed this potato salad with the flavors of my favorite potato chip in mind. I don’t peel the potatoes for two reasons: saves time and adds color and fiber.

Ingredients

  • 8 medium size red potatoes unpeeled (about 2 1/2 pounds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes and cut off any blemishes. I do not peel the potatoes but it is an option.
  • Cut potatoes in about 1/2 –inch cubes and place in an 8 cup saucepan or pot. Cover potatoes with water and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 20 minutes or just until tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Let the potatoes cool to room temperature.
  • Stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and add to the potatoes. Add bacon and green onions. Stir gently until the potatoes are coated. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.

Notes

Make Ahead Plan:
  • Cook potatoes one day and bacon one day
  • Toss it all together another day
  • Serve it on the third day. The flavors meld together best if made the day before serving.
