Blue Ribbon Recipe

Everything you love in a loaded baked potato, but in potato salad form. The dressing is made from sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, shredded cheese, and hot sauce. You taste the hot sauce that adds a kick of spice which we enjoyed alongside the tangy dressing. Crispy bacon is added to give a smoky flavor and add a little crunch. When folded with chunks of cooled baked potatoes, it's a great summer side dish. Baking instead of boiling the potatoes makes the potatoes very creamy.
