Cook: 50 minutes

Total: 70 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

Kountry Boys Thick-Sliced Original Bacon, cooked, cooled and chopped

4 pounds russet potatoes

1-2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 cup mayonnaise

3/4 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 green onions , chopped

1 1/2 cups medium cheddar cheese , shredded

Method

Preheat your oven to 400 °F

Clean the potatoes, pierce with a fork, coat with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake 50–60 minutes until tender when poked with a skewer.

Let ‘em cool for about 5 minutes so you can handle ‘em.

Peel or scoop out the fluffy insides (discard the skins) into a big bowl.

While they’re still warm, drizzle the apple cider vinegar over them and let sit 15 to 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook Kountry Boys Thick-Sliced Original Bacon until extra crispy, then chop it up.

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

When the potatoes are cool, stir in the dressing, coating evenly. Next, mix in Kountry Boys Thick-Sliced Original Bacon, green onions and cheddar.

Chill it in the fridge — or enjoy it warm!
