Delicious Mississippi Mud Potatoes Tasty Side Dish
Ingredients
- 2 pounds medium-sized red potatoes, scrubbed and halved
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup finely chopped green onions (whites and greens)
- 0.25 cup crumbled bacon (cooked and crispy)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 Prise salt (to taste)
- 1 Prise pepper (to taste)
- 1 Prise fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the halved potatoes and cook until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, crumbled bacon, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently fold them into the sauce, ensuring that all potatoes are coated evenly.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- After chilling, give the potatoes a gentle stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve cold or at room temperature, garnished with fresh parsley.
