I baked 3 Idahos, cooled and cut with skin on. Added chopped scallions,celery,fresh chopped chives, salt/pepper. Added equal parts mayo and sour cream, chopped cooked bacon. No pots to wash, potatoes overboiling!

The flavor of baking them is awesome-this I do not mind making.

Thanks for the recipe....It sounds great. I'll try it soon.

Sounds great! I'm always on the lookout for potato salad that doesn't have eggs, TFS.

I made potato salad w/ leftover baked potatoes once and have never gone the boiling route again. Tastes better and they are nice and firm.

I'm reading this tip a day too late! I just made some yesterday the long way. It was a big hit, but I will defintely try your way next time.

I'm all for making it easy-and no pot to wash is a bonus.

Yes, but isn't there a pot and greasy stove for the bacon?

Microwave it!

Oh darn, the husband just got back from Walmart, otherwise I'd have asked for a bag of potatoes to make this recipe tonight!

My mom's potato salad
3 lbs potatoes- ukon gold or red skinned
1 cup sour cream
1 cup hellman's mayo
1 tsp salt- can add more if needed
1 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp onion powder- can add more if needed

Wash and peel potatoes, cut into bute sized chunks- not too small, not too big- about the size of a ping pong ball.

place potatoes in cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender. Drain and place in a very big bowl. Add the next 5 ingredients and mix well. can be served right away or left in the fridge for an hour and served cold. I prefer it cold. I have also added a little fresh dill to this as well.
