Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 lbs Russet Potatoes Peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup Bacon Cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese Shredded
Dressing Ingredients
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/4 cup Milk Whole or 2%
  • 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
Mix-ins & Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Green Onions Sliced
  • 2 tbsp Chives For garnish
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper Freshly ground

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy (about 10-12 minutes). Drain well and allow to steam dry for 5 minutes.
  3. While potatoes cook, prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the cooked potatoes, half of the crumbled bacon, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese into the dressing until just combined. Be careful not to break up the potatoes too much.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining bacon and cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned on top.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish generously with sliced green onions and fresh chives before serving hot.

Notes

For an extra crispy topping, you can mix 1/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkle over the cheese layer before baking.
