Why Make Loaded Baked Potato Dip?
Ordering a loaded baked potato at a restaurant is always tempting, but it can feel too heavy alongside a main course. That’s why this dip is a game-changer. It delivers all the flavors of a loaded potato—cheese, bacon, and chives—but in a lighter, shareable format. Bonus: there’s no need to turn on your oven!
What Makes This Dip So Delicious?
This is one of the easiest and most delicious dips you’ll ever make. After cooking the bacon and prepping the jalapeño, you simply mix everything together—no baking required! Here are the key ingredients:
- Cream Cheese: Adds creaminess and richness.
- Sour Cream: Balances the flavors with a tangy note.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese: For that classic cheesy goodness.
- Bacon: Crispy, smoky, and irresistible (make-ahead friendly!).
- Jalapeño: Adds a touch of heat.
- Chives: For garnish and mild onion flavor.
If you prefer chips over waffle fries, feel free to swap them. Thicker potatoes, like fries or kettle chips, are ideal for getting closer to that loaded baked potato experience.
