I have been seeing a lot of avocado egg salad on Pinterest lately because of Easter and almost tried to make some. I wondered how I could put my own spin on it… and this is what happened. Potato Salad! Avocado Potato Salad with lots of bacon, hard-boiled eggs, a touch of plain yogurt and lots of flavor.
I do love avocados so I knew this had to be good, but spoiler alert – it might be a new favorite recipe. I like it even more then this Loaded Baked Potato Salad.

Notes
40 minutes of cook and prep time, plus at least 20 more minutes for chilling. You need one hour or more to make this salad for guests.
Ingredients
- 4 medium sized potatoes (any variety)
- 6 ounces of bacon (half a package) and I used turkey bacon
- 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 2 avocados, mashed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (can substitute for lime)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Wash and cube the potatoes, boil them in water for about 20 minutes or until they are tender (do not over cook them). Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and let them cool off for 10 minutes or so (I usually stick them in the fridge).
- While the potatoes are boiling you can cook the bacon. Once it's cooked, blot off any grease with a paper towel and chop it into pieces.
- Add potatoes, bacon, onion and eggs to a mixing bowl.
- Stir in yogurt, mashed avocados and lemon juice.
- Mix in pepper, salt, red pepper, and garlic powder.
- Give it a few good stirs and chill for at least 20 minutes before serving for maximum flavor.
Enjoy!

Oh my gosh, my family will love this as we love potato salad and love avocados. A win/win for sure!

Can I use something else for the yogurt? mayo or something?
Raquel Lynn says
Absolutely! You can definitely substitute mayo for the yogurt, the yogurt is a slightly healthier option and I have a husband who refuses to eat mayo so yogurt was a good switch for me.

How long can this keep? Do the avocados start to turn brown if you prepare it a few hours before the meal?
Raquel says
Hi Anna, it will be green all day or for 24 hours. It’s one of those dishes that is best if eaten the same day. However if you let it sit for a second day – there will be some brown but it’s not a lot!
