Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 5 large russet potatoes washed and diced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices cooked bacon crumbled
  • 0.5 cup chopped green onions
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley

  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Spatula or Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Place them in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 30 minutes until tender.
  2. Step 2: Carefully drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for about 10-15 minutes. Once cool, peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold the diced potatoes into the dressing using a spatula, being careful not to break them apart.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and fresh parsley.
  6. Step 6: Cover the potato salad with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
