Loaded Baked Potato Salad is a quick and easy side dish recipe, perfect for BBQ’s and potlucks!
Loaded Baked Potato Salad is filled with a creamy dressing, shredded cheddar cheese and loads of bacon! You’re going to LOVE this one!
I must be dreaming of summer because all I can think about it making salads that go perfectly with potlucks and BBQ’s.
This recipe is so simple because it takes on all the flavors of a loaded baked potato!
Sour cream? Check!
Cheese? Check!
Bacon? Check!
Green onions? Check!
Potatoes? Duh!
I used baby red potatoes for this recipe, but you could also use baby golds.
PRO TIP – Pre-cut the potatoes into equal size pieces and boil in salted water until they are fork tender. Drain the potatoes then dunk in a bowl of ice water until the potatoes have cooled completely. You’ll end up with perfectly tender pieces of potato without any gummy texture.
Toss the potatoes with the dressing and add in some shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper and you’re done!
Personally I think the salad is best when it sits in the fridge for about an hour or two to let the flavors soak into the potatoes, but it can also be served right away if you’re in a pinch for time.
