Recipe: Cheddar Bacon Ranch Potato Salad

Looking for a satisfying yet simple side dish? Meet your new favorite salad, which packs a flavorful punch with just five ingredients.

Servings: 6

What you need:

2 pounds petite red potatoes, diced into bite-size chunks (about 1 inch)

2/3 cup ranch dressing

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (about cup)

1/3 cup green onions, chopped

Salt and pepper (optional)

What you do:

In a pot, add potatoes and enough water to cover the potatoes by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and allow to boil until potatoes are fully tender, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour potatoes into a colander to drain. Set aside to cool, or speed up the process by running cold water over the potatoes until cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled potatoes, ranch, cheddar, bacon and green onions. Set aside a few tablespoons of the bacon and green onions for garnish, if desired. Toss and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve or cover and chill for up to a day. If you like the bacon crispy wait to add it until ready to serve.
