Steps
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Add cleaned potatoes to a baking sheet then pierce them 3-4 times with a fork. Finally coat with the olive oil and cook for 50-60 minutes or until easily pierced.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes. Once you can handle, cut the potatoes into huge chunks.
In the meantime, cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp enough to crumble. Once cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon into bite-sized bits. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream, mustard, pickle juice, and all the seasonings. Mix well to combine.
Add the potatoes into the bowl with the mayonnaise-based dressing, along with the bacon bits and cheese. Toss to combine. Season to taste.
Garnish with any leftover cheese, bacon or chives, then serve warm or refrigerate for an hour to serve chilled.
