Loaded Potato Salad Loaded Potato Salad
My dad just came out of surgery and had a hankering for potato salad, but so much potato salad is such bland garbage. So, I thought for a bit about potatoes, and how everyone loves a loaded baked potato, and, voila, Loaded Potato Salad, a mixture of potatoes, sour cream, chopped leeks, cheese, bacon, red pepper, etc. My dad loved it.
