Steps:

• Position 2 racks in the center of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes, then prick each all over 8 to 10 times with a fork. Rub the butter evenly on the potatoes, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet with at least 1 inch of space between them.
• Put the bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Place both baking sheets in the oven, the bacon below the potatoes. Cook the bacon, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, 18 to 20 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, let cool and then crumble. Bake the potatoes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and a small knife inserted in the center goes in and out without any resistance, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board and let cool completely, about 2 hours; quarter each cooled potato lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, bacon, Cheddar and white parts of the scallions, and gently stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with the scallion greens right before serving.

BAKED POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a baking dish and put in the center of the oven. Bake until the potatoes are tender and can be pierced with the tip of a knife, about 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the parsley and basil in a food processor or blender. Season with salt and white pepper, add 2 tablespoons water and blend. With the motor running, pour the olive oil through the top in a slow, steady stream. Add the sugar and taste for seasoning. Pulse to combine and set aside. (This doesn't need to be a smooth puree: It should be a little rustic and chunky.)
• In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, shallots, mustard, capers and brine, and the gherkins and brine. Add half of the parsley-basil puree and toss. Taste for seasoning.
• When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Peel half of the potatoes (some skin adds a nice flavor to the salad). Cut any big potatoes into quarters and cut the rest in half. Put the potatoes in the bowl with the dressing; season lightly with salt and pepper and gently toss. Serve at room temperature with the remaining herb puree on the side.
