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!
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.
Loaded Baked Potato Salad
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Yukon Gold Potatoes (Any potato you have on hand will work fine)
- 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Green Onion, chopped
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- ½ Red Onion, chopped
- ½ lbs. Bacon, cooked crispy chopped
- Salt
- Black Pepper
Instructions
Cut the Potatoes into ½ inch cubes, boil until tender, 8-10 minutes.
Drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process.
In a large bowl combine Greek Yogurt, Mayonnaise, Red Onion, ½ of the Shredded Cheese and ½ of the bacon.
Mix well.
Add the Potatoes to the mixture and stir until the Potatoes are evenly coated.
Add Salt and Pepper to taste.
Sprinkle the Green Onion and remaining Cheese and Bacon on top of the potato salad.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

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!
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!
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.
Not a potoato salad fan, but that looks really good!

This sounds like a great side dish for a summer BBQ.

Yum potato salad.
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.
I like all the flavors in this. Good for year round.
This looks delicious! I am a big fan of potato dishes!
i love potato salad so much, one of my favorite foods.

Wow…. this looks amazingly delicious!
That looks yummy! Thank you for sharing!
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
Now this is GREAT! I am definitely pinning this for later use. Thanks for the recipe.
My hubby loves potato salad, cheese, and bacon. This recipe sounds like it would be perfect for him!
That looks so yummy!!! Thanks for sharing:)
I love potato salad. I’d leave off the bacon, but it seems like a versatile recipe 🙂
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.”
Oh yumm my family loves potato salad so i will be trying this especially now in summer as we do more outdoor cooking
That looks tasty an decadent. No wonder it is a hit at potlucks.
I love a good potato salad and this one looks delicious. I’ll have to try it.
The more colorful vegetables, the healthier they are! Your salad looks so healthy!
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.
You recipe and pictures look yummy. I’m following your on pinterest.
Yum! This looks awesome!! Thanks for the recipe!
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!
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!
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!
You had me at the first picture – This is what I am having for dinner tonight! Thanks!
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! 🙂
I really like loaded baked potatoes, this looks delicious.
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.
Yum, I love baked potatoes. This salad looks delicious.
Yum!!! Can’t wait to try this delicious recipe. 🙂 Thank you!
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.
This looks good. I wish i could eat a regular baked potato right now.
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

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.
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.
This sure looks yummy! I’m hungry now…
This looks very very good! I love potatoes and this is a great recipe 🙂 Thanks! 🙂
I think I just found a little bit of heaven. I love a backed potato and a potato salad. Yum.
Good grief, that looks amazing! Thanks for posting it…now I’m hungry! 🙂
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!
Looks so colorful and tasty! It’s definitely going on my weekly recipe rotations!
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. 🙂
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!
We eat a lot of baked potatoes. This looks like it could be a new way to spice it up.
This looks delish and most importantly ~ easy!

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 )
My husband doesn’t like potato salad but I am going to try this and see if I can sell him on it! 🙂
Fabulous and so easy! Gotta pin this!
Monica.
Yum!
We grill out too in summer and this would be a great alternative to a green salad!
You can never go wrong with potato salad! Love how colorful the dish is too.
THis looks so pretty! I love the idea of more yogurt and less mayonnaise. thank you for sharing!
I like how you used Greek yogurt in this along with the mayo – and you can’t go wrong with a potato salad with bacon in it! Delish!
Very pretty and colorful recipe. This looks like good comfort food!
I can’t wait to try this,it looks delicious
Yum I would love to make this for my family!
