Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Ranch Red Skin Potato Salad.
Step 1
Begin by placing red potatoes in a spacious pot and covering them with salted water.
Step 2
Heat the pot over high heat until the water reaches a rolling boil, then lower the heat to let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Step 3
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool in the refrigerator.
Step 4
When they are chilled, chop them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
While the potatoes are cooling, turn your attention to the bacon.
Step 6
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it turns a delightful brown and crispy, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 7
After cooking, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease, then crumble it into small bits.
Step 8
In a generous mixing bowl, combine the cooled potato pieces, crumbled bacon, shredded Cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
Step 9
Carefully fold in the ranch dip, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Step 10
Cover the bowl and let the salad chill in the refrigerator overnight, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 11
This potato salad is not just a dish; it’s a celebration of flavors that will elevate any gathering.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful blend of textures and tastes!.
