Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds russet potatoes
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
8 slices Turkey Bacon
5 green onions
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and prick the russet potatoes, then bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour until fork-tender. Allow them to cool completely.
Once cooled, peel (optional) and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix together sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with salt and pepper. Gently fold in enough dressing to coat the potatoes.
Add most of the chopped Turkey Bacon, green onions, and cheddar cheese, reserving some for garnish. Carefully mix everything together without breaking the potatoes.
Top with reserved bacon, green onions, and cheese for presentation before serving.
