Need something amazing for your picnic or barbecue? Try this Loaded Red Potato Salad. This is a sponsored post.
If you enjoy a loaded baked potato, you’ll love this easy peasy recipe.
How do you make Loaded Red Potato Salad?
First, wash the red potatoes and cut into small chunks.
Next, just barely cover the tops of the potatoes with water and boil until fork tender — about 10 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and add the sour cream, yogurt, cheese, bacon, and green onions. If you only have sour cream or only have yogurt, you can double the amount and skip the one you don’t have. It tastes good either way.
Mix thoroughly. I also gently mash the potatoes as I mix up the ingredients. My family likes it to not be so firm.

That sounds absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to make this for my family!
I love potato salad and this looks so good, along with the fried chicken, I may have to try that out next time I’m there.
I LOVE red potatoes! I think this salad really is the perfect pairing with fried chicken!
You must want me at your house. Loaded red potato salad? Another half hour of cardio, and well worth it. That looks WONDERFUL. I haven’t had a meal like that in….well in a while. I am making it. I have to – it’s calling to me from the picture.
I love potato salad. I mean LOVE IT. This recipe sounds so good I will have to try it this summer.
The potato salad looks amazing. I am going to have to make this for the 4th.
That potato salad looks amazing. We’re trying to mix it up with inexpensive, delicious foods this summer. This recipe fits the bill. Thanks!
This looks like a delicious summer side dish! I love the idea of using greek yogurt to curb some of those calories!
Corn on the cob! Potato salad! Chicken! All my favorite food in one frame! 😀
I love how this recipe is so easy-to-prepare. You got me at sour cream – I love it but I just realized that I have never tried using it with my potato salads. I’m excited to prepare this one for one of our family get-togethers.
That’s my idea of a picnic, too. The salad looks yummy!

YUM!! You prepared the perfect picnic meal! I love it! Your potato salad looks delicious! #client
I have always loved the picnics with the family and have never gotten the fried chicken from Walmart yet for one. I will have to do this for sure. This is one potato salad I would be willing to try indeed. Loaded Smashed Red Potato Salad I am for sure going to be making but leaving yogurt out because I don’t like the taste. Thanks so much for sharing.
I love potato salad! It really is the perfect addition to any picnic or barbecue.
