Loaded Baked Potato Salad takes all the best parts of a baked potato—cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, sour cream, and green onions—and folds them into a creamy, crave-worthy salad perfect for BBQs, potlucks, and family dinners.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large baked russet potatoes, cooled and diced
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • ½ cup sliced green onions
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to taste)

Instructions

  • Bake the russet potatoes until fork-tender. Let them cool completely, then dice into chunks.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  • Add the diced potatoes and fold gently to avoid breaking them apart.
  • Add the green onions and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature. Garnish with extra cheese or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if you prefer.
  • For added spice, mix in diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce.
  • This salad tastes even better the next day.
