Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 large russet potatoes (For creaminess, you can substitute with Yukon Gold potatoes)

Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream (For a lighter option, Greek yogurt works wonders)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (Consider using avocado oil mayonnaise for a healthier twist)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (For an extra kick, try whole grain mustard)

Add-Ins:

  • 1 cup cooked turkey bacon, crumbled (Turkey bacon or veggie turkey bacon can be great substitutes)
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (Feel free to use dairy-free cheese alternatives)
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (Chives or scallions also add a nice flavor)

Seasoning:

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    1. Step 1: Bake the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes under running water, pat them dry, then poke holes all around with a fork. Bake directly on the oven rack for about 60-70 minutes until they’re soft and cooked through.

    1. Step 2: Cool and Chop

Once the potatoes are baked, let them cool slightly before carefully peeling the skins off (you can leave some skin on for texture). Chop into bite-sized pieces.

    1. Step 3: Mix the Dressing

In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until smooth and creamy.

    1. Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Add the chopped potatoes to the dressing mix. Gently fold in the cooked turkey  bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Be careful not to mash the potatoes; you want to maintain some chunkiness in texture.

    1. Step 5: Chill and Serve

Transfer the loaded potato salad to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully!
