Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch in size.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
While the potatoes bake, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble it into small pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to make the dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Chop the green onions and parsley; reserve for the salad assembly.
Once the potatoes are baked, transfer them while still warm to a large serving bowl. Add the crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, parsley, shredded cheddar cheese, and the dressing. Gently toss until everything is well combined.
Serve the warm baked potato salad immediately. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or green onions for a fresh finish.
