Loaded Potato Salad Recipe

This loaded potato salad is so unbelievably delicious that it is sure to be a hit at any bbq, party or holiday.

My local grocery store makes a version of this potato salad in their deli. After buying it several times I decided to just make it myself. The great thing about that is you can make the potatoes as firm or tender as you prefer. Also feel free to add more sour cream, bacon, cheese or green onions. I went easy on the bacon and green onions because I find that they can easily overpower a dish. But if you want extreme bacon, go for it!

Do You Peel Potatoes Or Leave The Skin On For Potato Salad?

This recipe calls for gold or red potatoes, which have thinner skins. This means you can remove the skin or leave it on. If using a thicker skin potato such as Russet, I would remove the skins.
