Although this potato salad is called loaded baked potato salad, you are not actually required to bake the potatoes. It has all the flavor of loaded baked potatoes, but you still boil the potatoes as you would traditionally do when making potato salad.

This potato salad uses red potatoes. I don’t peel them. I just wash them and remove any eyes and then cut them up. Skipping the peeling process shaves quite a bit of time off the prep time in making this salad,

While this is a quick and easy potato salad to make, it does require time in the refrigerator for it to chill. Allow this to set up in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours. However, it is even better if you can leave it in the refrigerator overnight. It gives it more time for the flavors to meld.
