Baked Potato Salad
"This a potato salad that tastes like a baked potato and is very different. Sometimes you like a salad that strays from the norm. You put anything into it that you would put on a baked potato. You don't have to be limited to what is listed. Because I need to give measurements, I tried to put down about what I would use, but I don't usually measure anything because it depends on how many potatoes I bake. Use your own judgment."

The deli down the street sells an almost identical salad for $8 a pound and I have been buying it weekly for lunch! THANKS for this recipe. This was delicious and just as versatile as the author says! I added all that she said, but then added a little garlic powder and some regular onion flakes. This is phenomenal and SOOOO simple! -
Absolutely wonderful! My DH hates potato salad, this is the only one he likes! I have taken this camping many times, so easy to throw together ahead of time. Heated it is just like a loaded baked potato. Thanks for the great recipe! -
This is right up there with my favorites since trying it recently! I added onions, 4 hard boiled eggs, green pepper and celery seeds and left out the bacon and cheddar. Great change! -
My family loves this recipe. It goes very well with grilled foods! -

<p>John 3:3 <br />Psalm 91 <br /><br />We are born-again Christians and love the Lord Jesus Christ with all our being.? We attend a small Christian and Missionary Alliance church in our town.? <a href=http://www.cmalliance.org>http://www.cmalliance.org</a><br /><br />My family consists of my husband who was a microbiologist but is now retired, two children (daughter and son), four grandchildren, and soon to be two great grandchildren, a girl and a boy. I homeschooled my oldest granddaughter up to a senior in high school. She is now 29 years old. My oldest grandson, who is now 25; my youngest grandson, age 20; my youngest granddaughter is in seventh-grade.

Most doctors may have heard of it but don't know an awful lot about it and so many times it goes misdiagnosed.
