Blue Ribbon Recipe

This potato salad recipe is simple and different. Even people that typically don't care for potato salad will like this, we think. It's super creamy and the ranch flavor is mild. Bacon is a great complement to the flavor - adds texture and saltiness. A great addition to your summer BBQ or picnic.

Chop unpeeled potatoes into cubes, place in large pot and cover with water. Boil over med-high heat until fork tender.

Step 2

Drain, let cool.
Step 3

In medium bowl, whisk together ranch dressing, mayonnaise and scallions. Cover, refrigerate while potatoes cool.
Step 4

On microwaveable plate cover bacon with paper towels and microwave until crisp, cool, crumble.
Step 5

Stir mayonnaise mix into potatoes, gently.
Step 6

Sprinkle with bacon. Serve.
