Reviews
I thought this was good, but for whatever reason, the batch I made turned out a little bit dry. I doubled the recipe, but otherwise followed it as directed. It received good reviews from everyone at my Easter table. Thanks for sharing your recipe, littlepeepsbrude!
Used left over baked potatoes! Great way to use them up and it was finished so quickly because of it! Yumm! Will definitely make this again! And again!
I had a baked potato salad at a German meat market, and I’ve been trying to duplicate it for months…THIS is what I wanted. Served chilled or room temp, it’s still fresh and flavorful. My favorite picnic accompaniment, and goes well with a nice roast, too. Thanks for this one!
I’m not a fan of mayo, so typical potato salads don’t appeal to me. This new recipe caught my eye w/the use of sour cream in place of mayo. I halved the recipe and chose to use cheater bacon bits rather than fry bacon. This. Is. So. Good!! It truly tastes like a baked potato. You could personalize this with any of your favorite baked potato toppings. I also chose to leave the skins on all my potatoes and chopped BEFORE boiling (seemed easier to me). THANKS for the recipe; this one’s a keeper!
