This easy Baked Potato Salad is a guaranteed pot-luck FAVORITE! It's a fun change from a regular potato salad, and instead includes the toppings and flavors you love from a loaded baked potato, including bacon, onions, sour cream and cheese.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 5 green onions
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Wash potatoes and prick them with a fork or knife. 

  2. 2

    Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until they are fork tender. Remove from the oven and cool completely. 

  3. 3

    At this point you can peel all of them, or peel half of them and leave the skin on the other half to get a real baked potato feel. Cut the potatoes into small, pieces.

  4. 4

    Combine the sour cream and mayonnaise in a bowl and stir well. 

  5. 5

    Add the potatoes to a large serving bowl. Season well with salt and pepper. Add the sauce (just enough to coat them well--you may not use it all) and gently stir to coat. 

  6. 6

    Add most of the bacon, onion and cheese, reserving some for topping at the end, and gently stir to combine.
