  • Wash and cut pototoes into 1 inch or so, bite-size pieces. Boil chopped potatoes in water for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
  • Drain and cool potatoes back to room temperature.
  • While the potatoes are cooling, chop the green onion, celery, and bacon.

Dressing

  • Mix the blue cheese dressing, mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, dill, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
