  5. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sour cream. Season with the kosher salt and pepper.
  6. When the potatoes are cool, pour the mayonnaise mix over the potatoes with the crumbled bacon, green onions, and cheddar cheese. Gently fold the ingredients together. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Refrigerate for 3 hours up to overnight before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
