Loaded Baked Potato Salad- if you haven’t tried it, you’re seriously missing out. This recipe takes all the best parts of a fully loaded baked potato — creamy potatoes, crispy bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, tangy sour cream, and fresh green onions — and turns them into the ultimate BBQ side dish. Perfect for summer cookouts, backyard grilling, or just when you want something hearty and full of flavor.

I make this potato salad ahead of time so it’s chilled and ready to serve when friends and family arrive. The texture is rich and creamy, with that smoky crunch from the bacon and the sharp bite of cheddar in every bite. It pairs perfectly with smoked ribs, burgers, grilled chicken, or even by itself for a quick lunch. Trust me — once you bring this to a party, people will ask you for the recipe every single time.

Whether you’re hosting a big holiday BBQ or just meal prepping for the week, this Loaded Baked Potato Salad is the definition of a crowd-pleaser. Make it for your next picnic, tailgate, or potluck and watch it disappear fast.
