For the Salad

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder adds subtle depth
- salt to taste

Instructions
Start by placing the diced potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Boil them for about 15 minutes, or until they are tender enough to pierce with a fork.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool for a few minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until it's nice and creamy.
Once the potatoes are cooled, add them to the dressing along with the crumbled bacon, blue cheese, and sliced green onions.
Using a spatula, carefully fold everything together, ensuring the potatoes are coated without breaking them apart.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Garnish with extra crumbled blue cheese for an added touch of flavor.
