How to Make Non Traditional Potato Salad

  1. Boil 2 lbs of cubed Yukon Gold potatoes in salted water until very tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and set aside to cool.
  2. While potatoes cook, cook bacon until crispy. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease. Crumble bacon.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the cooled potatoes. Gently toss to combine.
  4. In a food processor, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Process until smooth and creamy. Stir in reserved bacon grease.
  5. Sauté the finely chopped onion in the remaining bacon grease until softened and translucent.
  6. In the large bowl with the potatoes and cheese, add the chopped hard-boiled eggs, sautéed onions, and crumbled bacon.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy!
