Ranch Potato Salad
This Ranch Potato Salad is the perfect make-ahead friendly side dish. Loaded with bacon, green onions and cheddar cheese, you cannot go wrong with this delicious potato salad.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes (russets) peeled and cut into 1" pieces
- 4 slices bacon cooked and chopped
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 cup mayo
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- as needed salt
- as needed pepper
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Add the peeled and cut potatoes to a pot and cover with water by 1-inch. Place on high heat and boil until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and set on the counter for 20 minutes to cooldown. Then place in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to cool completely.
- In a small bowl combine the mayo, sour cream and ranch seasoning. Mix well. Now add in the salt and pepper (to taste). Mix to fully combine.
- To the cooled potatoes add the chopped bacon, shredded cheese and green onions (reserving some of each to garnish with). Pour over the dressing and mix to fully combine.
- Garnish with reserved bacon, cheese and green onions. Serve immediately or chill for an additional 20 minutes. Enjoy!
