A delightful twist on the classic potato salad, featuring crispy bacon, creamy dressing, and fresh chives.
Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, then drain and let cool slightly.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Save the bacon grease for other recipes to add flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning before combining with other ingredients.
Combine the potatoes, bacon, blue cheese, and chives in a large bowl, then fold in the dressing until evenly coated.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the potatoes.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve, garnished with additional chives if desired.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
