Loaded Baked Potato Salad

Love baked potatoes dripping with sour cream, covered in bacon bits and chives?  Me too!  That’s why Loaded Baked Potato Salad is always a big hit at our house.

A summer staple, served warm Loaded Baked Potato Salad is our stand by for barbecue nights when there’s a big chunk of beef on the grill.  Works well with chicken of pretty much any variety.  Or pair with chops, lamb, burgers, even salmon.  Serve it layered or tossed, it’s all the fun and flavour of baked potatoes without the time it takes to bake them.

Because the chef-in-my-life is lactose intolerant we substitute mayo for sour cream, but will still dress and serve this salad warm or at room temperature for that satisfying loaded baked potato fix.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm… bacon.
