I love a good loaded baked potato. So when I spotted this recipe for loaded baked potato dip, I knew it was going to be fabulous. I was not disappointed! What’s not to love about warm waffle fries or chips dipped in a savory mixture of sour cream, cheese and bacon?

You’ll want to serve this dip at room temperature–my kids like it best warmed up a little–so whatever you prefer is fine. You’ll want your waffle fries to be nice and crispy–they’ll work much better for dipping that way. And if you do have any leftovers, this really does make a great topping for baked potatoes.

This loaded baked potato dip combines all of the fantastic flavors of a classic loaded baked potato – sour cream, bacon, cheese and scallions. Scoop away with potato chips!

Forever, the only way I ever made a baked potato was in the microwave. I just can’t argue with quick and easy, right?

Well, once I started baking them in the oven, there was no turning back for me – baked potato perfection! I typically keep it fairly simple when I have baked potatoes and usually top them with butter, salt and a lot of pepper.

However, there really is nothing better than a loaded baked potato when you’re feeling the urge to splurge. A steaming hot baked potato topped with mounds of sour cream, bacon, cheese, and chives.

This is heaven for most of us carbaholics (and cheese and bacon fanatics) – so much goodness!

 I’ve made this countless times over the last handful of years and each and every time it’s met with oooh’s and ahhh’s. When people ask what’s in it, no one can believe how simple it is to make. Keep this recipe on hand for an easy party dip – it’s great for everything from the Super Bowl to a party!

How to Make Loaded Baked Potato Chip Dip

This dip is so easy to put together, you’re going to be making it ALL THE TIME.

Ingredients Needed

First, gather up the following ingredients:

• 2 cups sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3-4 green onions, sliced (+1 for garnish)
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce
• 10 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Chips or fries to dip

Directions

To make the dip, first add the sour cream, cheese, green onions and bacon in a bowl. Make sure you set aside some of the green onions and bacon crumbles to use for garnish later.

Stir everything together to combine.

Next, cover the dip with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for an hour to let all the flavors combine.

When you’re ready to serve, transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with sliced green onions and crumbled bacon. Serve with chips or fries.

To get the true loaded baked potato experience, serve the dip slightly warm. I like to pop it in the microwave for 30-40 seconds and give it a good stir to even out the temperature.

I like any kind of dip year round and we have snack days all the time at the office and I’m know as the “dip queen” It’s always a hit!
