I made this on a whim when my cousin was in town, and it was ok, but not I was in a hurry and dumped all the potatoes in so it was a little skimpy on the sauce. I also left out the chives since I forgot to buy them after I realized my plant died. Oh well at least it wasn’t a major ingredient.
Loaded Baked Potato Salad
(Adapted from Ray Ray’s Fav Recipes)
4 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup freshly chopped chives, divided
8 strips of bacon (6 for the salad and 2 for topping) cooked and crumbled
1 tsp black pepper
salt to taste
Serves 4 – 6 (Simply double list of ingredients if you need a larger serving)
In a small bowl, mix together your mayonnaise, and sour cream.
Make sure the two are completely combined and then add half of the chives, cheese, and pepper. Taste mixture to see if you prefer some salt. (I usually add a dash or two.) Let chill in fridge for a bit.
Meanwhile, peel and cube your potatoes into bite size pieces. Put in a large pot, cover with water, and boil until fork tender. About 20 minutes. *You need to keep an eye on them. If they cook too long you’ll end up with more of a mashed potato consistency when you mix them with the sauce.
When potatoes are ready, drain and let cool just a bit. *Let them cool a lot if you plan to serve chilled. Put potatoes in a large bowl or dish and combine with sour cream mixture. Fold in most of your crumbled bacon. Top with remaining half of chives and remaining crumbled bacon.
