Baked Potato Salad

Ingredients :

1 1/2-2 pounds of baby red potatoes  (my personal preference for potato salad, but you can sub with whatever potato you prefer)

1/2 c. mayonnaise

1/2 c. sour cream

1/2 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 c. chopped chives

1 lb. bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

salt and fresh pepper, to taste

Instructions :

In a medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, pepper, and most of the chives.  (Save a few chives for garnishing your salad later.)  Add cheese and bacon and stir to combine.  Place dressing in the refrigerator while you prepare your potatoes.

Cut your potatoes into bite-sized chunks and place into a 2 quart pot.  Add water to cover potatoes.  Add a three-finger pinch of salt to water.  Bring to a boil and cook until tender, but not falling apart.  Drain potatoes and cool slightly.  Gently fold potatoes into the dressing until completely covered.  Add more salt and pepper, if needed.  Garnish with reserved chives.  Chill.
