Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• ½ cup chopped green onions
• ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
• 1 cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®)
• 6 cups cubed russet potatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place potatoes in a pot; fill with water until potatoes are covered. Add salt; bring to boil. Simmer until potatoes are just tender enough to be pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until potatoes are slightly cool.

Step 2

Mix sour cream, creamy salad dressing, and ground black pepper together in a large bowl. Stir in Cheddar cheese, green onion, and bacon bits; add potatoes. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
