Baked Potato Salad is truly a unique potato salad! May very well be the best potato salad I’ve EVER tasted! This is a must-try recipe.

Potatoes are baked with oil and Italian salad dressing mix instead of boiled.

Next time we have company, this one is coming to the table and I don’t care what else is being served!
