Grilled red potatoes ... Bacon ... Cheese ... Ranch ... plus a few extras were left over and there wasn't enough of anything to do much with. So let's try something new .. turned out it was really good ! Hubby wanted to name is Scrap Salad since it was made from scraps but I had to take the lead on the name ! I would do this again with salad macaroni ! Save those little bits .. you never know what you might come up with !

How To Make bacon cheese ranch potato salad

Step 1

Simmer the potatoes whole until fork tender. Drain and then refrigerate for at least one hour or until completely cold.

Step 2

Cut the potatoes into quarters then cut each of those pieces into 2 . You can use the potatoes as is. I like to grill them for a little extra fun and smokey flavor. Place the potatoes into a medium bowl.
Step 3

Cook the bacon until crisp. Drain well then crumble and let cool.
Step 4

Sprinkle the bacon, cheese, chives, dill and cucumber on top of the potatoes and stir lightly. Salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5

Whisk the mayonnaise, Ranch dressing and lemon juice together until blended. Pour over the potato mixture. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
Step 6

Garnish with extra chives and crispy onions if desired.
Step 7

*** NOTE *** If your prefer Miracle Whip to Mayonnaise use that but it will affect the flavor. If you desire more dressing then by all means add it.
