Instructions
- Dice potatoes and add to a large pot, cover potatoes with water, cook on high heat and bring to a boil. Once potatoes are boiling reduce to medium heat and cook for 12-15 minutes.
- Add water to a small pan and bring to a boil. Place the 2 eggs in the pan and boil for 10 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and add to a large bowl. Set them aside to cool.
- In a large pan cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel. Cut bacon into small pieces after it has cooled down.
- In a small bowl add all of the seasoning together and stir to combine.
- In a medium sized bowl add the mayonnaise, blended cottage cheese and seasoning blend. Stir together.
- Add the dressing blend to the diced potatoes. Mix gently so you don’t mash the potatoes.
- Chop the hard-boiled eggs and the green onion.
- Add 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, 1 cup of bacon, 1/2 of the green onions and all of the chopped eggs to the potato salad. Stir gently. Save the remaining cheese, bacon and green onions to sprinkle on the top before serving.
