To create your Loaded Potato Salad, follow these steps:

1. Boil the Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until tender but still firm.
2. Drain and Cool: Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool for about 15 minutes.
3. Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
4. Add Potatoes: Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Gently fold them until they are evenly coated.
5. Mix in Toppings: Add the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions to the potato mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
6. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
7. Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the salad. Adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or additional mustard if necessary.
8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of paprika over the top for added color and a slight earthiness.
