Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash potatoes and prick them with a fork or knife. 

Step 2

Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until they are fork tender. Remove from the oven and cool completely. 

Step 3

At this point you can peel all of them, or peel half of them and leave the skin on the other half to get a real baked potato feel. Cut the potatoes into small, pieces.

Step 4

Combine the sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl and stir well. 

Step 5

Add the potatoes to a large serving bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Add the sauce (just enough to coat them well–you may not use it all) and gently stir to coat. 

Step 6

Add most of the bacon, onion and cheese, reserving some for topping at the end, and gently stir to combine.
