Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Red Potatoes diced into ½" cubes
  • ¼ cup Dill Pickle Juice
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ cup Diced Dill Pickles divided; for mixing and topping
  • 2 Hard-Boiled Eggs diced into chunks, for topping
  • 3 Slices of Bacon crumbled, for topping
  • 2-3 tablespoons Fried Onions for topping
  • 1 tablespoon Chives for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking oil.
  • Add potatoes to pan in a single layer. Bake diced potatoes for approximately 35 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Stir every 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add two large eggs to a pot of cold water filled an inch above the eggs. Heat to a boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat and cover with a lid. Let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Plunge into an ice bath and peel shells. Coarsely dice eggs. Set aside.
  • Cook bacon slices over medium-high heat in a large skillet for 8-10 minutes until they are rendered and beginning to crisp. Set bacon on a paper-towel-lined plate and cool. Once cooled, crumble or cut into small pieces.
  • Make the dressing by mixing mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, pickle juice, shredded cheddar cheese, half (two tablespoons) of the diced pickles, half of the bacon bits, and salt in a large bowl. Add potatoes and stir.
  • Add diced eggs, fried onions, remaining bacon bits, diced pickles, and chives on top.
  • Serve warm or place in the refrigerator for an hour to serve cold.
