Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds russet potatoes
  • 12 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 3/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 ounces crispy plant-based bacon (or alternative)
  • 6 green onions (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 cups medium cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the russet potatoes and pierce each potato several times with a fork.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast for 50-60 minutes until tender.
  3. Once cooled slightly, chop the potatoes into chunks and toss with apple cider vinegar in a large mixing bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), salt, and pepper to create your creamy dressing.
  5. Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and gently fold in crispy plant-based bacon (or alternative), green onions, and shredded cheese until well combined.
  6. Refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight for best flavor before serving.
