This is a very nice twist on a summer favorite. I took the advice of some other readers and used 1/2 sour cream, 1/2 mayo, and just for fun, added in a little ranch dressing. Tastes best after a few hours in the fridge - would be great to do the day before a backyard BBQ. My family loved it!

i enjoyed this recipe. I followed the advice of other reviews about adding 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 mayo. It was wonderful. I would recommend this recipe to anyone looking for something different.

I had to make different kind of potato salad for my sometimes picky husband because he doesn't like traditional potato salad with mayo and pickle relish. When I found this recipe, I knew it would be the right recipe for him since I know how he loves loaded baked potatoes and baked potato soup. Sure enough, I was right because he loved it and so did I. I did use fresh or real bacon. I also didn't use half sour cream and half mayo which most reviewers suggested. I figured since my husband and I both love all the flavors of a baked potato, I didn't see how I could go wrong and I was right. The salad was perfect. I have also made this by using roasted potatoes which also works out very well.

Terrific recipe...I followed another reviewer's suggestion and did a 1:3 mayo to sour cream. Delicious with BBQ ribs. Made for the Easy Does It event in Cooking Photos.
