Matilda’s Loaded Potato Salad
Serves 12
Ingredients:
2 pounds red potatoes, cleaned and cut into 1 inch chunks
1 pound of bacon, cooked and crumbled
5 green onions, cleaned and sliced
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Directions:
Bring a large pot of salad water to a boil. Add potatoes cut into 1 inch chunks. Cook until tender, but not mushy (it’s very important not to over cook your potatoes). Cooking time is approximately 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, place in refrigerator to cool.
Meanwhile, cook your bacon. You can cut it prior to cooking, as I have done here, or cook the strips and crumble them later (it’s up to you). Once cooked, crumble each bacon strip and set aside.
Add mayonnaise and sour cream to a large mixing bowl and combine. Then add green onions (or chives, if you prefer), celery, bacon, and salt and pepper. Finally add your cooked, cooled potatoes (don’t worry if they aren’t totally cooled – that’s ok) and fold ingredients together to combine. Taste and then adjust seasoning.
Place potato salad in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to come together. This is definitely a great make ahead dish, so feel free to make this the day before your party or event!
