1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup green onions, chopped

Instructions
 

Boil the Potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook for 10-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooled potatoes. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently fold until all the potatoes are coated.

        Add Bacon and Cheese: Stir in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, and halved cherry tomatoes. Mix gently to combine all ingredients.

          Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your loaded potato salad!
