    Loaded Baked Potato Salad | How to be Awesome on $20 a Day

    The long weekend is so close I can almost smell it. It smells like a backyard barbecue.

    This long weekend is much needed. Between battling work stress and a bout of obnoxious depression, I'm completely exhausted. My weather app is promising that there will be at least one day of warmth and sunshine. It's gonna be Scotland hot, and I fully intend to get a mild sunburn. I'm going to eat whatever I want, wear flowery, fluttery clothes, and chill the f out. Don't you dare try to stop me.

    I hope you have lots of basking in sunshine and setting fire to things and then cooking many meats and ears of sweet corn. If this is in the cards for you, please, in the name of all that is delicious, do not serve your friends and family store bought potato salad with its sad potato bits, horrible celery, and way too much mayo. Not when totally awesome potato salad can so easily be made in your own kitchen.

    What makes Loaded Baked Potato Salad so awesome?

    This Loaded Baked Potato Salad is loaded up with all the good stuff, like cheese and bacon. You know I don't play around. You will need to plan ahead a bit because this needs to chill in the fridge for at least four hours, but other than that, it's super simple. Fry some bacon, boil some potatoes, stir a few things together, and then eat totally awesome potato salad that will keep you well away from the deli counter for the rest of your life.

    Loaded Baked Potato Salad with cheddar and bacon will make you forget all about store bought.

    • Author: Renee Rendall
    • Prep Time: 15
    • Cook Time: 25
    • Total Time: 40 minutes
    • Yield: 6 servings 1x
    • Category: Side Dish
    • Method: Boiled
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 kilo (about 2 pounds) baby potatoes, quartered
    • 5 ounces bacon
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • 2 green onions, chopped
    • ⅔ cup shredded cheddar cheese

    Instructions

    1. Chop your potatoes into bite size chunks. This may be in half, quarters, or even smaller depending on how baby your baby potatoes actually are. Just make them into a size that would easily fit on the end of your fork then in your mouth. Add them to a big pot, and cover them with cold water. Add a fat pinch of salt, slap a lid on, and cook your potatoes over medium high heat for about 25 minutes or until they can be pierced with a fork. You want them tender but not mushy. Drain the potatoes.
    2. While your potatoes are doing their thing, chop or scissor your bacon into a large skillet and cook up the pieces until their crisp. Drain your bacon on a paper towel lined plate.
    3. As your bacon is working in the pan, you can also get your dressing ready. In a large mixing bowl that you can fit your potatoes in later, whisk together the sour cream, mayo, salt, pepper, garlic powder and chopped green onions. If you wanted to sneak in a dash of cayenne here, I wouldn't complain.
    4. Once your potatoes are drained, add them to the sour cream mixture along with your bacon pieces. Give everything a gentle fold to coat all everything in the dressing. The dressing will get thinned out from the heat from the potatoes, but don't worry, it will all come back together in the fridge. Put some plastic wrap or a lid on your bowl, and stash it in the refrigerator to chill for at least two hours.
    5. Before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar. Serve cold next to your favorite burgers and hot dogs.
