Loaded Baked Potato Salad Recipe Tips
- Firstly, don’t over bake your potatoes. If you have some over baked potatoes on hand, make smashed potatoes instead. They will crumble and make for a messy salad.
- Also, you don’t need to peel the potatoes if you are using organic potatoes. Just make sure to wash and scrub them well before baking.
- If you have time to plan ahead, you can use my recipe for Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes.
- You can use any dressing you want. I especially love this recipe with either Blue Cheese or Ranch salad dressing.
- In addition, to save time you can buy cubed cheddar cheese. Provolone cheese is also great in this recipe.
- Same applies to pre-cooked bacon.
- The salad can be stored in the fridge in an air tight container for 2-3 days.
