She Loves Wine Red Potato Salad - 2 ways

5# bag red potatoes
2 bunches green onions - sliced, including at least half of the green tops
1 bag of shredded cheddar cheese
1 bag of real bacon pieces (found in the salad aisle)
3/4 Cup Hellmans (only Hellmans)
3/4 cup Sour cream
2 tsp garlic poweder
2 tsp salt (or seasoned salt)
1/4 tsp black pepper

Wash the red potatoes and boil 20 minutes ( if you have a few large ones in there, cut in half)
Drain well - Cool.

Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces and chill.

To assemble the salad -

On top of the cooled, cut-up red potatoes add:
sliced green onions
bag of shredded cheese
bag of pre-cooked bacon pieces

Mix together-

Hellman's and sour cream - adding garlic powder, salt and pepper to it.
Add to the potato bowl and mix well. Add more mayo and sour cream if needed.

Chill.

This can also be baked - you could make a large batch and serve it for a salad today and the rest for a side dish tomorrow.


Also good with sliced green olives in it........omit salt.
