Bacon Ranch Potato Salad
Easy potato salad recipe for anytime that has three of the best ingredients: bacon, ranch and cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Potatoes (Red or White) Cut into bite-size pieces.
- 16 oz Sour Cream
- 1 oz Ranch dressing mix packet
- 1.5 cups Bacon Cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups cheddar cheese More cheese never hurts
- 2 bunches green onions Chopped
Instructions
- Turn oven to 400º
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add bite-size potatoes and cook to fork tender, 12-15 minutes depending on how many potatoes. Drain and set aside.
- While potatoes are cooking it’s time to cook the bacon. Lay the strips of bacon out on a cookie sheet and cook for about 25 minutes (depending on your oven). Switch bacon from bottom rack to top rack half way through cooking for optimal crispness.
- Once bacon is crisp, remove from oven and let cool on a plate with paper towels to soak up excess grease.
- Once bacon feels dry to the touch, crumble the strips in to small pieces.
- In a medium-large mixing bowl whisk together the sour cream and the ranch dressing packet until mixed thoroughly.
- Fold in the potatoes, ¾ of the bacon, ¾ of the cheese, most of the green onions and gently mix it all together.
- Place in fridge for about an hour to really let the potato salad settle and capture all of the flavors.
- Top the potato salad with the remaining bacon, cheddar cheese and green onions.
- Serve and enjoy!
