I love the classic mustard based potato salad full of hard boiled eggs and olives. My husband, well, he doesn't like it. At all. And since summer wouldn't be complete without potato salad I came up with this recipe for a Loaded Baked Potato Salad. The concept is pretty popular but after making this several times and trying different ingredients (chives, no chives, white cheddar crumbles, no cheese, more or less mayo, etc.) I think I've found the right combination. Now we just have to agree on whether it should be served hot or cold!
Loaded Baked Potato Salad
3 lbs. red potatoes, diced
2-3 TBS salt
pepper, to taste
1/2 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Boil potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and set aside to cool. Combine mayo and sour cream in a large bowl. Add pepper, onion, cheese and bacon and mix together. Add cooked potatoes and stir until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Looks delicious! I vote for serving it hot.
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! I would vote for cold.
ReplyDeleteYUMMY!
ReplyDeleteYum, I bet it's better cold.
ReplyDeleteIs that "refrigerate" or "serve hot"? :) I vote for refrigerate. This looks yummy and they charge an arm and a leg at my grocery store for loaded baked potato salad, so I am swiping your recipe!
ReplyDeleteI like it cold but hubby always warms it up in the microwave. We usually compromise and have it room temperature!
ReplyDeleteI have to just laugh. I don't do potato salad, if my family wants it, it's store bought or made by someone else. I can't eat potatoes cold, gag, and the whole mayo thing is not happening in my food. My sister and mom make the old fashioned southern kind of with mustard/mayo, egg, pickles etc, no thanks...LOL.
ReplyDeletei say hot the first time, leftovers cold
ReplyDeleteYummy!
ReplyDeleteIt's lunch time and this looks so much better than the cheese stick and piece of bread I'm having!
ReplyDeleteMercy, that looks delicious! I am for sure trying this one. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWD's Dad, and I say that you have found the right combination!! It was delicious cold!

ReplyDeleteOh my yummy!! I too shy away from the 'yellow' salad. This sounds delicious. AND since you shepards pie was such a hit (and still is) I will have to make this one too!
ReplyDeletesounds like an instant saver recipe to me!
ReplyDeleteThat is one simple and tasty sounding potato salad!
ReplyDeleteI just made this for my contribution to our 4th of July get-together. It is YUMMY!!! I am serving it cold.
ReplyDeleteeverything I like this sounds so good, I read on a post that your turning 40 soon. I hit that # yesterday and so far I deny, deny, deny
ReplyDeleteThis looks good, I think it's going to go on the menu for next week!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...m, I *love* potato salad. I'm going to try your recipe. The version we make over here in the UK never has cheese or bacon in it but this sounds wonderful. (Actually my mouth is watering as I type this)!
ReplyDeleteNice site BTW ...over here from SITS. Have a good day. :)
I have a variation of this that adds ranch dry mix to the mayo- YUM!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust made this. WOW. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations of your SITS award.
ReplyDeleteI might try that potato salad. Yummy looking.

Yummy! I would probably prefer it hot, but it sounds like it would be delicious if it were cold too.
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks delicious. I just posted a chicken dish that is similar to "chicken with all the baked potato fixings!" Might go good together!! Great blog!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really yummy! I would love it warm too!
ReplyDeleteSeriously...that looks good!! I wish my boys would eat something that isn't covered in melted cheese or made of pizza. :(
ReplyDeleteThis is very similiar to one my mom makes, except we add creole seasoning instead of the salt and pepper. It's yummy and a nice change from regular potato salad.
ReplyDeleteWe fixed this tonight to go with some smoked chicken and brisket my hubby made. It was delicious. We plan to fix this one again and again. Thanks for sharing!!
