Servings: 6 to 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes washed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt I used 10% fat
- 1½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 6 ounces prosciutto or bacon cooked to a crisp and crumbled
- ½ cup spring onions sliced
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat your oven to 400ºF and pull out a baking dish.
- Bake the potatoes. Wash the potatoes and pat them dry. Transfer the potatoes to the baking dish, pierce them a few times with a fork, and drizzle them with olive oil. Bake the potatoes for 1 hour, flipping halfway through, until fork-tender.
- Cook the prosciutto. Heat a bit of oil in a skillet. Add the prosciutto or bacon and cook until crispy. Crumble it and set it aside.
- Peel and season the potatoes. Once the potatoes are baked, set them aside to cool down a bit, so you can peel them. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Toss the warm potatoes with apple cider vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set the potatoes aside.
- Assemble the salad. Combine mayonnaise and Greek yogurt in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and stir to combine. Add the potatoes on top of the mayonnaise, along with the spring onions, bacon or prosciutto, and cheddar cheese. Stir gently until combined.
- Serve. Chill the salad for 1 hour, then serve.
Notes
- Make sure to pierce the potatoes to prevent them from popping as they bake.
- Instead of Greek yogurt, you can use sour cream.
- If you do not have prosciutto, you can use bacon.
- For some extra flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese.
