Bacon Ranch Potato Salad

5/20/15

This Bacon Ranch Potato Salad is the perfect party side dish!

How to make Easy Creamy Bacon Ranch Potato Salad

Hi friends! Memorial day is less than a week away, and there are two side dishes that should definitely be on your menu. Those two side dishes are: Pasta Salad & Potato Salad! A week ago, I shared a recipe for a delicious summer pasta salad, and today I’m going to share a recipe for a Potato Salad… Not just any potato salad, but a creamy Bacon Ranch Potato Salad!

This Bacon Ranch Potato Salad is so much better than store bought, and so easy to make!

Usually when I make potato salad, I stick to my original stick, but a few weeks ago I decided to try something new. While grocery shopping, at my local grocery store, I noticed several potato salads in the deli, but one definitely caught my eye. It was a cheddar ranch potato salad. I asked to try it, and I’m glad I did- because had I bought it, I would have been disappointed. The potato salad had been quite vinegary ( I hope that’s a word), and I couldn’t taste a bit or ranch. It was sad.

Later on that day, I decided to experiment and make my own cheddar ranch potato salad. I added more bacon and ranch to my potato salad than cheese, so I call it Bacon Ranch Potato Salad.

Here’s the recipe
