Step-by-Step Instructions for Jalapeño Popper Roasted Potato Salad
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and chop the Yukon Gold or red potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender, stirring halfway through.
  4. Cook bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to absorb grease and cool before chopping.
  5. In a bowl, combine the roasted potatoes, diced jalapeños, bacon bits, green onions, and cheddar cheese.
  6. In another bowl, whisk sour cream and mayonnaise together. Pour over the potato mixture and gently mix until evenly coated.
  7. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve warm or chilled.
