Ingredients  

  • 1 ½ lb potatoes - I use Honey Gold baby potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon celery salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle chili pepper
  • ½ lb bacon - cut into ½ inch slices, cooked crisp & drained
  • 3 oz sharp cheddar cheese - shredded on large holes approx. ¾ cup
  • cup scallions - thinly sliced
  • 4 whole eggs - hard boiled and separated
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Line a sheet pan with foil and grease with cooking oil of your choice.
  • Rinse and cut the potatoes to ½ inch pieces.  Place in a large bowl and coat with olive oil.  Sprinkle with the seasonings- salt, celery salt, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, chipotle chili powder and stir to coat them evenly.
  • Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared sheet pan and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until fork tender.  Remove and let cool to room temp.
  • Slice and cook the bacon until crisp.  Drain on paper towels.
  • Separate hard boiled eggs, roughly chopping the whites, finely mash the yolks with a fork.
  • Combine all remaining ingredients (reserving a little bacon and scallions for garnish) in a large bowl.  Mix well with a large spatula.  Transfer to a serving bowl, let chill in the fridge until ready to serve.  Garnish with remaining bacon and scallions when ready to serve.
