Description
A creamy and delicious Loaded Baked Potato Salad that combines the flavors of baked potatoes with a rich dressing, cheese, and bacon.
Ingredients
- 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 cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold the potatoes into the mixture until they are well coated.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, and chives. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 2-3 hours before serving.
- Serve cold, garnished with additional green onions or chives if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise.
- Add diced tomatoes or pickles for an extra flavor twist and a pop of color.
