With the arrival of the warmer months, potato salad is a dish you're sure to see at backyard barbeques, pool parties, picnics and other seasonal gatherings. Despite the immense popularity of this dish, a new type of potato salad available at Costco has dedicated shoppers seeing red.
In a post shared on Instagram, Laura Lamb of @costcohotfinds shared with fans that she recently spotted Loaded Potato Salad in the warehouse's deli.

"There's a new Loaded Potato Salad in the Costco deli in a two-and-a-half pound container. It's made with Russet and roasted potatoes and topped with bacon crumbles and cheddar cheese. This one was creamy and delicious," she revealed in her video.
To create that creamy base, both sour cream and mayonnaise is used for the Loaded Potato Salad.
Although the zesty dish combines two fan-faves—loaded potato salad and mashed potatoes—many shoppers were left scratching their heads. Some were unsure of whether or not it should be eaten cold. Others were taken aback by the cheese on top remaining unmelted.
"I putting that bad boy in the oven," said one Costco shopper-turned-potato salad rebel.
"Not gonna melt the cheese?" another person asked.

Others were concerned about there being onions or other veggies in the potato salad.
"Any veggies in it? Hate potato salad with veggies in it," one of them wrote.
And then, there were the not-so-favorable reviews from those who have tried the new side dish.
"We bought this and my husband hated it and he LOVES potato salad," read one comment.
"This tastes awful. I don't recommend it. It tastes nothing like potato salad," said another critic.
If you are willing to give the Loaded Potato Salad a shot, you can purchase it at Costco for $3.99 per pound.
