Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds starchy potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
1 cup full-fat sour cream
½ cup light mayonnaise
4 green onions, chopped
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ cup turkey bacon bits or veggie bacon
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp paprika
Instructions
Wash and cut the potatoes into uniform chunks. Place them in a pot of cold salted water and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Boil for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine cooled potatoes, green onions, cheddar cheese, and turkey bacon bits. Pour in the dressing and gently fold until evenly coated.
Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with extra green onions or paprika if desired. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, substitute turkey bacon with crispy chickpeas.
Customize by adding jalapeños for heat or avocado for extra creaminess.
