Time 3h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 8 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 small russet potatoes (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices bacon
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
6 ounces sharp Cheddar, cut into 1/3-inch cubes (about the size of a pea)
2 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated

Steps:

  • Position 2 racks in the center of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes, then prick each all over 8 to 10 times with a fork. Rub the butter evenly on the potatoes, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet with at least 1 inch of space between them.
  • Put the bacon in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place both baking sheets in the oven, the bacon below the potatoes. Cook the bacon, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, 18 to 20 minutes; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate, let cool and then crumble. Bake the potatoes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and a small knife inserted in the center goes in and out without any resistance, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board and let cool completely, about 2 hours; quarter each cooled potato lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes, bacon, Cheddar and white parts of the scallions, and gently stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with the scallion greens right before serving.

LOADED BAKED POTATO SALAD



Loaded Baked Potato Salad image

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium Potatoes
1 cup fat free sour cream
1/2 cup miracle whip (you can use mayo... but I really don't like that stuff)
12 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Wash and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces (I left the peel on). Cover with water and boil until fork tender. It will take about 20 minutes. Check them at 10 minutes and ever few minutes after that. You don't want them overcooked or they will become mushy.
  • Drain and rinse with cool water. Drain again. Put them in a large separate bowl and place them in the fridge.
  • Mix the miracle whip and sour cream together in a small bowl. Add to the cooled potatoes, green onions, 3/4 of the crumbled bacon and 1 cup of cheese. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top with the other cup of shredded cheese and bacon and serve!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potatoes: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of starchy and waxy potatoes. Starchy potatoes, such as Russets, will break down and become creamy when cooked, while waxy potatoes, such as Red Bliss or Yukon Gold, will hold their shape better.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are fork-tender: This will ensure that they are cooked through but not overcooked. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland.
  • Let the potatoes cool slightly before handling them: This will make them easier to peel and cut.
  • Add your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities for toppings, so get creative! Some popular options include bacon, cheese, sour cream, chives, green onions, and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
  • Make ahead: Baked potato salad can be made ahead of time, which makes it a great option for potlucks and picnics. Simply store the salad in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Susan's Loaded Baked Potato Salad is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, smoky flavor, and endless topping possibilities, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new side dish or potluck recipe, give Susan's Loaded Baked Potato Salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
