Loaded Potato Salad
on Apr 16, 2018, Updated Jan 30, 2024
This Loaded Potato Salad will make for a great side dish at your summer picnics and BBQ’s. We toss cubed potatoes with the fixings that you would normally find in a loaded baked potato. Lots of cheese, bacon, green onion, and of course sour cream.
Loaded Potato Salad
When spring hits, we enjoy having picnic foods. We make most of our meat on the grill and I make lots of picnic type side dishes. We had a brief encounter with spring weather last week. I made our Creamy Cucumber Radish Salad and this Easy Loaded Potato Salad. Both were delicious and were perfect for the warm weather.

I am totally excited to hopefully get warmer weather next week so we can make some more summer foods. I am ready for warm weather and tasty recipes. A few years ago, I shared our No Cook Potato Salad. I usually make that recipe for our potato salad side dish. So the family was surprised to find this wonderful combination.
Loaded Baked potatoes are always so delish. The flavors go so well together. When we combined the mayo, sour cream, bacon, cheese, and green onion in this cold salad, I knew it would be great! Since my family really liked this version, I am thinking I will take it as our potluck dish to our first family bbq.

Oooh this looks so delicious! Even though it is winter here, I’d have a big bowl full! Thanks for joining in on Home Matters Linky Party! I will be featuring your post this week! #HomeMattersParty xx
I do not do potatoes often as I am on LC, but I did enjoy a loaded potato last week when we were out of town and truly enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for participating and sharing at SSPS 316. See you again next week at https://esmesalon.com/tag/seniorsalonpitstop/
This sounds absolutely delicious. Pinning.
Very easy to follow recipe that turned out great for me!
I have been asked to make this for every family event since the first time I made it years ago. Can it be pre-made and frozen? I am cooking for 25 people!
I make it with mashed potatoes and ass butter and sour cream when mashing with my hand mixer to make them creamy then hand mixing in all the toppings and making it a casserole. Them topping with cheese bacon and green onions too warmed up and served…
Hmmm…. never heard of ass butter 🤣🤣 Thanks for the laugh! I’m sure I have made the same typo with some other recipe! 💜
The way I just hollered.
I have never heard if weel mixing either!
I have made this and have always been asked to make for different events. Very good
This is a meal in a bowl and I love it. Pinned!
Now this is my idea of a potato salad!!! I can’t wait to take this to a potluck that I have coming up. I know that it will be a real hit. Thank you for sharing at Inspire Me Monday link party.
Oh wow! That looks amazing. I just love potato salad but my boys aren’t huge fans of it. I bet they’d love this though with the cheese and bacon. Pinned.
What a great idea to add to potato salad, it’s just like a loaded baked potato. Love this idea.
Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday. Hope to see you at the party next week!
