Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons dried chives
• 4 pounds potatoes, peeled
• 15 slices bacon
• 1 (16 ounce) container reduced-fat sour cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 2

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Dice cooled potatoes and place into a large bowl. Add sour cream, Cheddar, mayonnaise, chives, salt, and pepper. Crumble bacon into the bowl and mix until ingredients are well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours before serving.
