Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 2 pounds potatoes choose waxy potatoes for a creamy texture
  • 6 strips bacon crispy bacon for savory crunch
  • 1 cup blue cheese crumbled for tangy richness

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.

Notes

Garnish with extra crumbled blue cheese for an added touch of flavor.
