This Loaded Potato Salad takes the flavors of loaded baked potatoes and makes a cool flavorful salad that is perfect to serve at a cookout.
Fill a stock pot with water and dice the potatoes in 1/2-inch cubes (leaving the skin on), putting the potatoes in as you are cutting them.
When you are through with cutting the potatoes, make sure they are fully covered with water and add the salt.
Bring water pot with potatoes to a boil over high heat.
When it comes to a boil, boil for about 10-15 minutes. **
When the potatoes are done, drain and let cool.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients.
When the potatoes have cooled, put in them a large mixing bowl along with scallions and bacon, and combine.
Then add dressing and combine.
Then add cheese and combine.
If the salad is too dry you can add some more sour cream and mayo.
Sprinkle with some more coarse black pepper to taste (optional).
Let cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
