Salată cartofi copți încărcată (Versiune tipărită)

O salată cremă de cartofi copți cu bacon crocant, brânză cheddar, ceapă verde, în sos de smântână și maioneză.

# Ingrediente:

01 - 4 pounds russet potatoes
02 - 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
04 - 1 cup mayonnaise
05 - ¾ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
06 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
07 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
08 - 12 ounces bacon, cooked, cooled, and chopped
09 - 6 green onions, chopped
10 - 1 ½ cups medium cheddar cheese, shredded

# Instrucțiuni:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400° F. Place cleaned potatoes on a baking sheet, pierce 4-5 times with a fork, lightly coat with olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt, and bake for 50-60 minutes or until easily pierced with a skewer. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks. Transfer the potato pieces into a large mixing bowl. While still warm, sprinkle the apple cider vinegar over the potatoes and let rest for 15-30 minutes or until cooled.
02 - Cook the bacon in a large skillet or in the oven, drain, and let cool. Crumble into bite-sized pieces.
03 - In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sour cream. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
04 - Once the potatoes are cool, pour the mayonnaise mixture over them, then add the crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently fold all ingredients together. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
05 - Refrigerate the potato salad for 3 hours or up to overnight before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

# Note utile:

01 - Cook bacon in the oven to avoid spreading its aroma throughout the house. Place bacon strips on a lined baking tray and bake at 400° F for about 15 minutes or until desired crispness.
