Loaded Baked Potato Salad is a creamy and flavorful dish that combines tender baby potatoes with a rich dressing, cheese, and bacon, making it a perfect side for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Gently fold the potatoes into the dressing until well coated.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and chives. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the sour cream.
- Add diced tomatoes or avocado for extra flavor and texture.
