Key Takeaways
- A new deli salad at Costco is perfect for spring and summer cookouts.

If you’ve found yourself stuck between the last of soup season and the first sizzle of summer grilling, you’re not alone. Spring dinners can be tricky—too warm for stews, too early for burgers, and most nights, we just want something easy. Spring baking brings a little sweetness to the kitchen, but on the savory side, we could use a little help.
Luckily, Costco just introduced a no-fuss side dish that will fit right in on every table from spring through summer. It’s a loaded potato salad that already has fans raving—and reaching for seconds.
Costco’s New Loaded Potato Salad
Sure, we have dozens of go-to potato salad recipes, from tangy and mustardy to sweet and creamy. But when there’s no time to boil, peel, and chill, a good store-bought version is a win, and this one delivers big time.
Costco’s loaded potato salad looks creamy and hearty without being too heavy, and delivers all the best flavors of a loaded baked potato. Think: sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese, and salty bacon.
While it might remind you of the loaded mashed potatoes that show up in Costco’s deli section around the holidays, this dish appears to be a brand-new addition for spring. And if you ask us, it’s on its way to becoming a deli staple.
Made with both russet and red potatoes and held together with mayonnaise, this side dish is creamy, cheesy, salty, and exactly what our fridge shelves have been missing. It strikes the perfect balance between comfort food and something fresh—just what we need as the sun starts peeking out.
“Loaded tater salad, oh noooooo. (I’ll take a dozen!),” one customer joked. Another chimed in: “Could definitely eat way too much of this!”
There’s no official rule on whether to serve it cold or warm, and we’re with the commenter who said, “either way looks delicious.” For a homestyle finish, we suggest spreading it on a serving platter and topping it with finely diced chives or green onions to amp up the fresh flavor.
The best part? It’s only $3.99 per pound—roughly $10 for a 2.5-pound container. Whether you’re diving into spring entertaining or just need an easy, crowd-pleasing side to keep your family fed, this is a deli-section find you won’t want to miss.
And while you’re making your way through the warehouse, maybe grab a box of Gelato Sea Salt Caramel Snickerdoodle Sandwiches, too—another spring treat you didn’t know you needed.
