For extra flavor, consider using smoked bacon. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice. If you don't have Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese works well too. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and light mayonnaise. Roasting the potatoes brings out their natural sweetness, but boiling is also an option if you're short on time.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepArrange the potato cubes in the prepared baking pan. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
03
StepRoast the potatoes in the preheated oven until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 25 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes. (45 minutes)
04
StepWhile the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crispy and evenly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces. (15 minutes)
05
StepIn a large bowl, combine 3/4 cup of the shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, the minced onion, sour cream, mayonnaise, and most of the diced chives. Gently stir in the cooled roasted potatoes and the crumbled bacon. Ensure all ingredients are well combined. (10 minutes)
06
StepGarnish the potato salad with the remaining 3/4 cup of shredded cheese and the reserved diced chives for a pop of color and fresh flavor. (2 minutes)
07
StepCover the salad and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. This step is crucial for the best taste. (4+ hours)
