Refresh your plate with this delightful creamy potato salad thats perfect for any gathering! Packed with flavor and a touch of crunch, its sure to be a hit!
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs baby red or Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
– cup sour cream
– 1 cup ranch dressing
– 6 slices crispy oven-baked veggie bacon, crumbled
– cup shredded cheddar cheese
– cup green onions, sliced
– 1 packet ranch seasoning mix 1 oz
– cup fresh parsley, chopped optional
– Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Cook the potatoes: In a large pot, add the quartered potatoes and cover them with cold water. Season with a pinch of salt and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Once done, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool completely.
2. Prepare the dressing: While the potatoes are cooling, grab a large mixing bowl. Whisk together the ranch dressing, sour cream, and ranch seasoning mix until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
3. Assemble the salad: Once the potatoes are cooled, add them to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss the potatoes to ensure each piece is coated in the creamy mixture. Next, fold in the crumbled veggie bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions.
4. Season and chill: Take a moment to taste your potato salad. Add salt and pepper as needed to enhance the flavor. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour. This resting time allows all the delicious flavors to meld together beautifully.
5. Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a pop of color if desired and add a few extra crumbles of veggie bacon or a sprinkle of cheese for an appealing touch.
