How to Make Awesome Bacon Ranch Potato Salad

  1. Boil 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well and let cool slightly.

  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, 1 cup sour cream, ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 packet ranch dressing mix, and the crumbled bacon.
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Gently mix until everything is well combined. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld (optional, also delicious served warm).
  6. Serve and enjoy! Perfect for picnics, barbecues, or any get-together.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
