Sprinkle the flour into the saucepan to toast the flour, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the stock, and then the milk and beer.

Add 1 cup of the Cheddar, a handful at a time, stirring until melted and smooth after each addition. Add additional chicken stock if necessary to adjust the consistency.

SUSAN'S LOADED BAKED POTATO SALAD
I needed a quick dish to go with oven fried chicken - so it had to be potato salad! I had some cheese already grated, and some bacon already made into bits, so adding a little sour cream and onion gave me a very nice side dish.

FULLY LOADED BAKED POTATO SALAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)
Provided by á-25138
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Wash and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Cover with water and boil until fork tender, about 20-25 minutes. Do not overcook! Drain and cool the potatoes. I put them in a separate bowl and once they cooled enough I put them in the fridge to cool all the way. This gave them an excellent texture and prevented the dairy ingredients from getting hot or the cheese from melting. If you are serving this salad hot then you don't need to cool the potatoes, just skip step 2! Mix the mayo and sour cream together in a bowl. Add to the potatoes, then add the onions, chives, and cheese. Salt and pepper to taste - I use a pepper grinder and a sea salt grinder for EVERYTHING so I never know exactly how much of either I put in. I think the taste is far superior to just using regular table salt and pepper. Top with extra shredded cheese and bacon and serve! I think next time I will add chives and we may try serving this warm once as well. It's a simple and inexpensive side dish for any meal but especially great to take to a barbecue. My favorite part is that this is one of the regular ole recipes that anyone would make without realizing that it happens to be gluten free naturally. Those are my favorite! No special ingredients or expensive grocery stores, just regular food that I can eat along with everybody else. And I did it myself.
SHANNON'S LOADED BAKED POTATO SALAD
a tip.....use the crock from your crockpot - chill in fridge or freezer to make VERY cold. Put the final mixture in this. Will stay cold for hours. You can make your own bacon bits by frying up 16 oz of bacon, put on paper towel to drain, cool, crumble. I have also put a couple of tablespoons of the bacon grease in the mixture...

- 1. 1. Cube potatoes and boil until tender. Rinse under cold water (you can use ice cubes to move the chilling process along).
- 2. 2. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl along with the remaining ingredients and thoroughly combine, gently folding sour cream and mayonnaise so you're not mashing the potatoes. Save some of the cheese, bacon bits and onion to put on top to make pretty.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, hold their shape well in potato salad and won't get too mushy. Avoid starchy potatoes, such as russet potatoes, which can become crumbly and fall apart.
- Cook the potatoes properly: Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are tender but still firm. Don't overcook them, or they will become mushy. You can also roast the potatoes in the oven for a more flavorful result.
- Let the potatoes cool completely: Before adding the dressing, let the potatoes cool completely. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a creamy dressing: A creamy dressing, such as mayonnaise or sour cream, will help to bind the ingredients together and give the salad a rich flavor. You can also use a vinaigrette dressing, but be sure to add a little bit of Dijon mustard or another binder to help it stick to the potatoes.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: Potato salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and other ingredients. Some popular mix-ins include hard-boiled eggs, celery, onion, pickles, and bacon. You can also add herbs, such as parsley or dill, for extra flavor.
- Serve chilled: Potato salad is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Loaded potato salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It's perfect for picnics, potlucks, and summer gatherings. With so many different ways to make it, there's sure to be a loaded potato salad recipe that everyone will love.
