Red, White & Blue Baked Potato Salad
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of each, red bliss, Yukon gold and purple Peruvian potatoes.
- 1 ½ cups sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup mayo
- 8 sliced of bacon, cooked crispy and chopped
- 6 green onions, sliced
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Wash and chop potatoes into 1” cubes and place into large pot and cover with cold water. Place onto the stovetop and bring to a boil. Boil for roughly 20 minutes or until fork tender. Drain potatoes and allow to cool.
- Once potatoes are cool, cute them into quarters. Keep all cut purple potatoes in a separate bowl.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together the sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, bacon, green onions and cheese.
- Toss the red and white potatoes in the sour cream mixture and taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper, at the very end gently toss in the blue potatoes so they do not break up and dye your whole salad blue. Refrigerate until you are ready to serve and keep cool.
