Ingredients:

5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onions

  • 5 lbs Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While potatoes are cooking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
  3. Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooked potatoes, bacon, onion, cheddar cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stir until well combined.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Notes

  • For best flavor, make the salad a day ahead.
  • If you don’t have time to chill, place the potatoes in the freezer for 30 minutes to cool them down quickly.
  • To make this salad vegan, use vegan mayonnaise and sour cream.
