Ingredients
  

2 pounds medium-sized red potatoes, scrubbed and halved

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (whites and greens)

1/4 cup crumbled bacon (cooked and crispy)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: 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.

    Create the Sauce: 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.

      Combine: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently fold them into the sauce, ensuring that all potatoes are coated evenly.

        Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

          Serve: After chilling, give the potatoes a gentle stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve cold or at room temperature, garnished with fresh parsley.
