Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wash and pierce the potatoes with a fork. Coat them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 50-60 minutes until tender.
Once cool enough to handle, peel and chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss with apple cider vinegar and let cool completely.
Cook bacon until crispy; crumble once cooled.
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and sour cream; season with salt and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together cooled potatoes, dressing, bacon, green onions, and cheddar cheese until well combined.
Chill the salad for at least 3 hours before serving.
