When you hear “loaded baked potato” what do you think of? A big baked potato smothered in sour cream, cheese and bacon, right? Sure, because isn’t that what a loaded baked potato is? They are delicious and I could probably eat them everyday but it’s summertime now. I don’t want to cook potatoes in my oven for hours and heat up my house. So how about a cold version of a loaded baked potato? And to make it even better? It involves potato chips.
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest I knew I wanted to try it. I love, love, love dips and chips. And this recipe did not disappoint. It is delicious! Seriously, delicious! It’s definitely one of those recipes that are great for a pot luck, or the football game. It’s easy and super yummy.
Thanks to Brown Eyed Baker for this delicious recipe.
