- 3 lb russet potatoes scrubbed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 0.75 cup sour cream
- 0.75 cup mayonnaise

Preparation Steps
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, melted butter, and half of the cheddar cheese. Mix well.
- Add the cooled potatoes to the mixture and fold to combine, making sure the potatoes are well coated.
- Gently fold in the bacon and chives.

Notes
This salad can be prepared a day in advance, just be sure to add the crispy bacon right before serving to retain its crunch.
