My family absolutely loves this. What a way to turn a plain old baked potato into something spectacular! I'm sure your family will love it, too.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you love a loaded potato, you're going to love this potato salad. It's a delicious side dish for a summer cookout. Baking instead of boiling the potatoes adds to the flavor of the potatoes. They're tossed in a sour cream and mayonnaise mixture for a classic creamy and tangy dressing. When mixed with savory and crunchy pieces of bacon, shredded cheese, and chives, you have loaded baked potato flavor in potato salad form.
