Description
A creamy and delicious Loaded Baked Potato Salad that combines the flavors of baked potatoes with a rich dressing and toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by placing the halved baby potatoes in a large saucepan filled with water. Bring the water to a rolling boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool completely.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Once the potatoes have cooled, transfer them to the bowl with the creamy dressing. Carefully fold the potatoes into the mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated without breaking them apart.
- Next, add in the grated sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced scallions, and fresh dill. Gently mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully. For optimal taste, let it chill for 2-3 hours.
- When ready to serve, give the salad a light toss and taste for seasoning, adjusting if needed. You can top it off with extra scallions and bacon bits for an appealing presentation.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon.
- Feel free to add other toppings like diced tomatoes or avocado for extra flavor.
- This salad can be made a day in advance for convenience.
