Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the Potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not falling apart. Drain and let them cool completely.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
- Mix the Salad: Add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, red onion, and green onions to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat all ingredients with the dressing.
- Add Bacon and Cheese: Fold in the crumbled bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese, reserving some for topping.
- Chill the Salad: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Before serving, top the potato salad with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of extra bacon bits. Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired.
