Potato Salad with Bacon and Cheddar
Ingredients:
2 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup mayo
1/2 cup green onion, sliced (red onion is good too)
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled*
Directions:
In large saucepan, cover potatoes with water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain and cool slightly, about 2-3 minutes. In large bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Add potatoes and toss to coat. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Chill 1 hour before serving.
*the easiest way to "crumble" bacon is to use kitchen shears to cut the bacon into 1 inch chunks before you fry it.

My thoughts:
I am a firm believer that everything tastes better with bacon. This potato salad is no exception. While it is not something you'd want to eat every day (although, in the past I have subbed plain yogurt for the mayo which might make it a smidge healthier) it is good for picnics and potlucks. I have never been to an event where I've brought this and it wasn't the first thing finished on the table.

Thanks for this. I was just thinking about a potato salad with bacon and green onion and searched to see what was out there . . . I was thinking possibly ranch dressing instead of mayo, but I hadn't thought of cheese!
