Loaded Baked Potato Salad

Loaded Baked Potato Salad 

During the summer, we tend to grill out practically every night that it isn’t raining!

We tend to eat a potato dish, green vegetable, and sometimes a salad with each meal.

One favorite, is Baked Potato Salad, and it’s great for potlucks or taking to barbecues too!

Loaded Baked Potato Salad Ingredients

The best part is that it’s really easy to make, double (or more) if needed, and people always ask for the recipe, so I thought I’d share it here, so it’s easy to point them right to it.

This Loaded Baked Potato Salad Recipe has also become a hit as a side dish at many holiday gatherings, such as Easter Dinner, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Dinner, and Christmas Dinner.

It’s my go to Potato Salad Recipe for all occasions!

TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST LOADED BAKED POTATO SALAD:

  • You can use your choice of potato, but I prefer Russet Baking Potatoes, because, well, it’s BAKED POTATO salad.
  • Since the oven is already on, bake your bacon in the oven while you wait for the potatoes to cool down. Just place the bacon on an aluminum foil lined baking tray and cook at 400 degrees  for about 15 minutes or until your desired crispness.
  • You can substitute chives for the green onions (or leave them out altogether. I have weird allergies, I’m allergic to onions!)
  • I use full fat sour cream in this recipe, BUT you can use low fat sour cream or even substitute non-fat Greek yogurt for that added tang.
  • You can also add a bit of cream cheese for added twang.

    These nice Loaded Baked Potato Salad looks so delicious. What a flashback, because this I can barely wait to try this nice recipe out.

  13. Heidi c says

    What a yummy variation on my usual go-to potato salad recipe. I will have to try this.

  20. Elizabeth says

    Love everything about this Loaded Baked Potato Salad! It’ll be on our table this Father’s Day! Thanks for sharing this recipe; it’s a keeper!

  21. Lyndsey R. says

    What a great summer side! I might change up the red onion for white as I’m not a huge red onion fan and maybe even add a little bit of celery! Either way, this sounds really good!

  22. Jeanna Schirm Massman says

    I think this would be a hit with my family. Having yogurt as one of the ingredients is a little different from what I’m used to.

  26. Deborah W. says

    I love this potato salad recipe. It looks really good and sounds very nutritious.

  27. Jo-Ann Brightman says

    I love using a potato to make an entire meal. .Loaded potatoes are delicious.

  31. pollylee says

    Now this really got me interested because it sounds so delicious. Have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

  34. ladymagnolia99 (Judy Cox) says

    My husband would love these. I will have to fix him some for supper next week

  35. Linda Manns Linneman says

    This sounds so good. I love loaded potatoes. This sounds easy and will make a great summer side dish. Thank you so much for sharing

  37. Amy Green says

    I love it! What a fun way to update potato salad. It is so hard to find a fun side dish that’s just a plain, old salad. I plan on going all-out on mine by adding sliced black olives.

  41. Cynthia R says

    I truely don’t understand people that don’t load up their potato, this looks like a potato I can enjoy!

  44. Lindsay Giedosh says

    I’m totally going to be making this asap! I’m drooling already, potatoes are my favorite and I’m always looking for new recipes

  48. Adrienne says

    Yummy! I’m bookmarking to read more of your posts later. We love potato salad. I haven’t tried a Loaded Baked Potato Salad, yet. I have seen recipes for it. I’m sure hubby will be happy to help make it. (It’s one of his favorites!) ~Adrienne

  53. Debbie Thompson says

    That looks absolutely mouth watering! Even though I typically eat a Paleo diet, potato salad is a must for me at least once in the summer 🙂 I’ll have to try yours – I’ve never used yogurt and I’ve never made my potato salad “loaded.”

  54. Lindi Mogale says

    Oh yumm my family loves potato salad so i will be trying this especially now in summer as we do more outdoor cooking

  58. Natalie says

    ooh, clever idea for potato salad! I am a fan of potato salad, it is perfect for the never ending hot weather I have here in Texas, lol.

  61. insightsbyapril says

    I need this recipe in my life, absolutely drool worthy and not hard to pull off. I can see me using this for many a summer BBQ!

  62. yosantana12 says

    Oh wow! My husband made me print this up! He loves potato salad! We are always seeking new ways to make this. I will make this with him—minus the cheese for him—and I know we will be very happy. Thanks!

  63. Kimberly Morris Gauthier says

    If I were one of my dogs, I would have started drooling the moment I saw that picture of the loaded baked potato. I cut back on carbs only allowing 100 grams per day. But Thanksgiving is coming and that’s when I’m going nuts. I make the best mashed potatoes and this year, I’m loading them up!

  65. Caitlin says

    Oh, that looks so yummy!!! I have a dairy allergy but oh man…this makes me want to eat some in the worst way! The best way for everyone else! Maybe I’ll try to look for a way to try it with a couple substitutions! Yum. ENjoy! 🙂

  67. Lana says

    Love the combination of potatoes and yogurt. It’s so much lighter than when using just the mayo! The photo is very good, it makes me wanna go straight to the kitchen and start making the salad. I showed the photo to my son, and now he has it on his list for next weekend.

  70. Val (@busymommaval) says

    I also throw in a little bit of garlic when I make this. My daughter and I came up with something similar years ago when we got bored with regular potato salad. There’s no going wrong with the ingredients right? It goes amazing with grilled brauts by the way.

  72. sheismelrose says

    I try not eat things with mayonnaise because is so fattening but potato salad is one thing I could never cut off.It is one of my favorite comfort foods in the world and this one looks like I should add on cheat day lol it looks so good I wish I can eat it now

  73. pamatiw says

    That really looks delicious. This sounds pretty simple to make and I know would be a hit with my family. Might have to make this for Football Sunday this week.

  74. Grace says

    Looks tasty – a cross between baked potatoes and potato salad is ingenious. I’ve never used yogurt in a potato salad dressing, so I’ll have to try that out.

  76. Reelika @Financially Wise On Heels says

    This looks very very good! I love potatoes and this is a great recipe 🙂 Thanks! 🙂

  79. Kirsten @ Treat Yourself Sweeter says

    Ohhhhh YUM and I love that this is made with yoghurt… I am obsessed with yoghurt. This is tempting me to have a BBQ for dinner… delish!

  81. Jacqulyn Munns says

    I have never been a big fan of Potato Salad which seems odd because I love potatoes in almost every form. This sound great for the summer.
    I make baked potato soup in the fall and winter and this will be a nice recipe to use for picnics and Bar B Que’s.
    Thanks for including a picture. It’s always good to know what it should look like. 🙂

  82. Jebbica says

    What a colorful and delicious-looking salad! I love loaded baked potatoes, and I love potato salad, so this would be right up my alley. I would probably sub the mayo for sour cream and omit the red onions, but that is just my personal preference! I bet this is a hit at any cookout!

  85. brycerae says

    Potato Salad is a favorite of mine. It’s also a goodie for myself because it’s something we have when we are having dinner with friends.
    Bring in the summer !! BBQ season 🙂 ( Christmas in New Zealand )

  86. Tori Perez says

    My husband doesn’t like potato salad but I am going to try this and see if I can sell him on it! 🙂
