Description

If you don’t like ranches, or ranch dressing, you probably won’t like this salad. It goes perfectly with brisket or bbq. A nice change from the yellow mustard potato salad we’re all used to.

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds Red Potatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1 envelope (about 1 Oz. Packet) Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 bunch Green Onions
  • 1 pound Bacon
  • 2 ounces, weight Sharp Or Very Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

Wash and lightly scrub potatoes, cutting out eyes or black spots. Place in a very large pot, add salt and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then boil for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix together the ranch dressing mix, sour cream, mayonnaise and chopped/sliced green onions. Cover and refrigerate for 2 or more hours.

Cut bacon into pieces and cook until crisp. Drain grease and cool.

When potatoes are done, drain and rinse with cold water. Cut into 1-inch cubes. You will have lots of potato peels to peel off. Just grab the loose peels and discard. Refrigerate cubed potatoes for 2 or more hours or until cool.

Shred cheese. Mix potatoes with the ranch dressing mixture. Lightly fold in bacon and shredded cheese, saving some to sprinkle over the top as decoration/accent.

Favorite salad recipe – can stand alone as a meal w/out meat it is so hearty! Variations: add sliced cherry tomatoes, italian seasoning and substitute grated parmesan instead of the cheddar – delicious!
