This has been a crazy week at the Shugary house. With out of town guests, picnics and potlucks, we needed something delicious to bring and share!
This Loaded Potato Salad was the perfect solution. Three years ago I shared my Grandma’s Potato Salad, and it became a huge hit. It’s a classic recipe for a simple yet delicious potato salad.
But over the years, making a “loaded” version has been on my mind. By “loaded” I of course mean with bacon and cheese! Much like this Loaded Mashed Potato dish.
I mean, really, you can’t go wrong with potatoes, bacon, cheese and onion! My grandma always cut her potatoes really tiny for her potato salad. She also only used Hellman’s Real Mayonnaise. Trust me, it makes a difference. I took the egg and the green peppers out (after all, who needs those healthy ingredients, right?) and instead added in some bacon bits (the real stuff) and some shredded Colby Jack cheese. I also chopped up some green onions for a little color and flavor too!
Do you have a family favorite recipe? One that maybe you bring to every family gathering and it gets rave reviews? I’m always on the hunt for some delicious tried and true recipes. If you think YOU have one that I should feature on the blog, I’d love for you to email me at [email protected]. You never know, it might just make an appearance (with credit to you of course)!!!

- 1 cup shredded colby-jack cheese
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 2 tsp kosher salt
