  • 6 green onions (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse and dry the russet potatoes. Pierce each potato multiple times with a fork.

  3. Allow potatoes to cool slightly before peeling and cutting into one-inch chunks.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, cook plant-based bacon until crispy; drain excess grease and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  5. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, fold together warm potato chunks, dressing, chopped bacon, green onions, and shredded cheese until well combined.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least three hours before serving.
