I have the same question as Shwirlz: “When you say you serve this potato salad cold, do you mean that you don't bake it at all which would mean the cheese is not melted, but rather shredded unmelted pieces throughout? Secondly, if you do bake it and then serve it cold or at room temperature, what is the consistency of the cheese?” I am not asking about the temperature to cook it - specifically, people are saying the serve it cold....do these people bake it first then let it cool? Or not bake it at all if you plan on serving cold. -

People! This is supposed to taste like a baked potato remember?!! Unless you put all these additional toppings you're mentioning on a regular baked potato, why on earth would you add it to a salad called "Baked potato salad?!!" And you cook it as directed then serve it hot or cold. The peel left on here and there adds to the baked potato taste. My goodness, don't over think it! -
Ok, not to ask a dumb question, but here goes, haha. The potatoes are your basic medium russet, right? I need to make enough for possibly 20 people and always use the mondo costco russets. -

I wasn't real sure what to do about this one. I have the exact same recipe with one difference. So, I have decided not to post mine. Here is my difference - I don't bake mine. I mix it up and serve it cold, the ingredients are all the same. It is my husband's favorite potato salad. So either way - it works. Bake it if you have time or try it my way and just serve it cold.

I thought that this was by far the best potato salad I have ever tried. I added mushrooms and some hot pepper too. It was great! Oh ya, I tried it hot and cold, and the hot was better . . . but it was still damn good cold :). -
I made this as my contribution to a Father's Day cookout at a friend's house. There were eight really happy dads that loved this salad - went perfect with steak on the grill! I increased the bacon to 10 slices, and used Miracle Whip as stated, which I thought complimented the other ingredients perfectly. Not so sure mayo would have had enough flavor. THANK YOU!<br/>UPDATED TO ADD: I've had to make this so many times now for cookouts, I've got the quantity of ingredients to use down pat :) For a disposable 13x9" foil pan, I use a 5lbs bag of red potatoes (unpeeled), 15 slices pre-cooked bacon, and all other ingedients are multiplied by 1.5. I bake it for 10 minutes, and the consistency is just perfect once cooled, and I serve at room temperature. -
This was so good! I cut the recipe in half as there are only 2 of us and it still made enough for about 5 hungry people as a side dish. I had no problems with this recipe, it's perfect!

The BEST potato salad I have ever had! And the first one I ever made! This was so great, the flavors just worked so well together. This was so much better than traditional potato salad. I did serve it cold, just our preference. Really easy to prepare also. This is DEFINATELY a keeper!
