I'm excited to share my recipe for Baked Potato Salad, a comforting and flavorful dish perfect for potlucks or family gatherings. This salad combines tender potatoes, melted cheese, crispy bacon, and a tangy mayonnaise dressing, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
The star of this salad is the potatoes. I recommend using a starchy variety like Russet potatoes, which hold their shape well during boiling and baking. After slicing the potatoes, I boil them until they're fork-tender but still slightly firm. This is crucial because overcooked potatoes can become mushy and lose their texture. Once boiled, the potatoes are drained and allowed to cool slightly.
Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Put sliced potatoes into a large pot, and fill with enough water to cover.
- Bring to a boil, and cook until tender but still firm, about 10 minutes.
- Drain, and set aside.
- At the same time, place bacon in a large deep skillet.
- Cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned.
- Remove to paper towels to drain.
- In a large bowl, stir together the potatoes, cheese, onion, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon into prepared baking dish.
- Crumble bacon over the top, and sprinkle with olives.
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until golden brown.
