If you love baked potatoes but think they’re just for cooler winter months, this Baked Potato Salad will fill that void come summer. With reduced-fat cheddar cheese, chives and real bacon, you’ll feel like you’re eating a traditional baked potato in a dish that’s just slightly more summer picnic-friendly. The best part? There’s no need to fire up the oven when you have a microwave handy!
Potatoes are naturally gluten-free. To be sure this dish is, too, double check the label of the ingredients indicated with a “*” to be sure they are gluten-free.
Ingredients:
- 3 Express Bake PotatOHs
- 1 cup non-fat plain yogurt*
- 1/3 cup minced red onion
- 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese*
- 1/4 cup snipped fresh chives
- 3 tbsp real bacon bits or pieces*
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
1) Microwave PotatOHs on high 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Use oven mitts or potholders to remove them from the microwave. Let cool for 3 minutes and then remove wrapper.
2) Cut potatoes into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl with remaining Ingredients; stir well to mix.
3) This salad may be served right away, but is best if refrigerated for at least one hour to allow flavors to blend.
I bought a bag of “fingerling” potatoes at Sams yesterday. Printed on the bag was a web site with recipies for using these potatoes. First I got a message that the site couldn’t be found. I kept digging and finally found a list containing fingerlings, with a tiny little box that when checked, the mark was decernable only by getting right up against the computer screen. (Yeah yeah, I know a 20 year old designs and maintains your site. Maybe my eyes aren’t as good, but I’ll bet I can cook a lot better!!!)
Anyway, there were no recipies for fingerlings, only your “ready” potato. Do you, or don’t you, have microwave instructions for fingerlings??? And where can I find them?

Hi Madeleine,
If you bought one of our fingerling tray packs, the instructions should appear on the package. You can microwave them in the SavorSeal™ wrap and tray for 8 minutes. If the package does not have instructions for microwaving on the package, then they are not Express Bake PotatOHs.
To separate a list of recipes on our site, you can check the box for “Fingerling” under “By Potato Type” and click on “Apply Filter.” Only the recipes that use fingerlings will appear.
These are recipes that you can use fingerling potatoes with:

Some recipes allow for microwaving, and others may call for other cooking methods. However, in many cases you can use PotatOHs and microwave them as a shortcut to reduce overall cooking time.
Hope that helps, and please let us know if you have any other questions.
