Loaded Baked Potato Salad Recipe
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!

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.”

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!
Dena says
You had me at the first picture – This is what I am having for dinner tonight! Thanks!
kancell724 says
I really like loaded baked potatoes, this looks delicious.
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! 🙂
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.
FitTriangleMom says
Yum, I love baked potatoes. This salad looks delicious.
dancinmoma says
Yum!!! Can’t wait to try this delicious recipe. 🙂 Thank you!
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.
Shalama Jackson says
This looks good. I wish i could eat a regular baked potato right now.
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

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.
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.
MessyJessyCreatesArt says
This sure looks yummy! I’m hungry now…
Reelika @Financially Wise On Heels says

Jen says
Looks so colorful and tasty! It’s definitely going on my weekly recipe rotations!
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. 🙂
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!
Tenacious Little Terrier says
We eat a lot of baked potatoes. This looks like it could be a new way to spice it up.
MonicaP says
This looks delish and most importantly ~ easy!
Monica.
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 )
