If you love a potato salad like me, this is it for you. This is the ultimate recipe of a potato salad which would become your favourite soon.

It is very creamy and fresh. I love the sour cream and mayonnaise combination which gives a perfect balance of flavours with the freshness from chives and yumminess from the bacon and cheese. This is a salad that is wholesome and very filling. There are times when you get bored of having salad greens with the vinaigrette dressing. Try this recipe then and you would not regret it. If you are planning to serve this salad cold, save some dressing separately to dress the salad again, once it is out of the refrigerator. I love this salad cold as the potato absorbs all the flavors and tastes even better.

This would be a great addition to your party menu, or a brunch menu. Garnish with some chopped chives and green onions, a fresh and delicious salad is ready.

How to make it:

Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar
• 4 tbsp stone ground or yellow mustard (to taste)
• 1/4 cup chopped chives, divided
• 8 strips thick cut bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
• Salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions:
In a medium bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and mustard until well mixed. Add 3/4 of the chopped chives along with some salt and pepper. Whisk to mix. Fold in the cheese and bacon (reserve some bacon for a garnish). Cover and chill for thirty minutes.
Peel and cube the potatoes into 1/2″ pieces. Cook the potatoes in salted water until fork tender. Drain and cool slightly. Fold the cooked potatoes into the chilled dressing. Garnish with the remaining chives.
