Cheesy Potato Salad

AZPARZYCH's Note:

I love the baked-potato salad from the deli at the grocery store, but at $5 a pound it is a little crazy!! This sounds very similar; I would love to be able to make it myself...

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 1/2 lbs red potatoes, cubed (skins on)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/2 bunch green onion, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon bacon bits

Directions:

1. Place the potatoes into a pot, and fill with enough water to cover.
2. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork.
3. Drain, and set aside to cool
4. In a large bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, half of the onions, and half of the cheese.
5. Gently stir in the cooled potatoes.
6. Top with remaining cheese and onions, and sprinkle bacon bits over the top.

This was a yummy potato salad, my husband really liked it because it didn't have eggs in it. I only added a tinny bit of sugar and also limited the cheese. A nice change from the average potato salad.

I totally loved this potato salad but next time I will leave out the sugar altogether. I used 1/2 the sugar this time and loved it but I know I will love it more w/o sugar. Made for Aus/NZ tag.

Cut this recipe in half for the 2 of us & used the smallest red potatoes I could find, then cut 'em in half & steamed 'em! Followed the recipe on down, but did use Hormel's Real Bacon Pieces & had a flavorful treat with this change-of-pace potato salad! Thanks for sharing this cheesy delight!
