Learn how to make delicious Loaded Potato Salad. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
2 pounds of red potatoes, cubed
6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar for a tangy twist
Instructions
Start by placing the cubed potatoes in a large pot, covering them with cold water, and adding a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. This step always reminds me of my abuela’s patience in letting flavors develop naturally.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing, gently folding to ensure each piece is well-coated.
Incorporate the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions, reserving a bit of each for garnish.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding apple cider vinegar for extra tang if desired.
Transfer to a serving dish and top with the reserved bacon, cheese, and green onions. Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld. Either way, it’s a delight!
