Loaded Baked Potato Salad combines classic potato salad goodness with everything you love about baked potatoes! Tender bites of potatoes are tossed together with bacon, cheddar cheese and green onions in the very best homemade creamy dressing. This potato salad is a HUGE hit at picnics and potlucks!
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Use a fork to prick a few holes on all sides of the washed potatoes.
Place potatoes on baking sheet and bake for 50 – 60 minutes (turning potatoes over halfway through baking time) until potatoes are fully cooked.
Let potatoes cool completely.
Peel cooled potatoes and cut into large bite-sized pieces (about 2” chunks).
In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients including the potatoes.* Set aside for now.
In a medium bowl, stir together all dressing ingredients until well mixed.
Pour dressing over potato salad ingredients and toss well to mix.
Cover the potato salad with food-safe plastic wrap and let sit in fridge for 2 hours before serving. This gives the ingredients a chance to all blend together nicely for the best flavor.
Store leftovers in a sealed food safe container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
