Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs petite red potatoes diced into bite size chunks
  • 2/3 cup Hidden Valley® Simply Ranch Dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese medium
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions
  • optional salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
 

  • Cook potatoes in boiling water: Add potatoes to a pot. Add enough water to cover potatoes by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce heat to medium and allow to boil until potatoes are fully tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes: Carefully pour potatoes into a colander to drain. Set aside to cool (to speed cool them, run them under cold water until cool).
  • Toss potatoes with dressing and mix-ins: Pour cooled potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add in ranch, cheddar, bacon, and green onions, toss to coat.
  • Season as desired: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve or cover and chill up to 1 day (if you like the bacon crispy, wait to add it until ready to serve).
