Bacon Ranch Potato Salad




My mom makes THE BEST potato salad!! She makes it old school, with the Miracle
Whip and the relish and the eggs. Me, always looking for something new, decided to create this delicious bacon ranch potato salad!! The crisp, crunchy bacon and chopped green onions take this over the top!! My family enjoys this and I hope yours does too!!

1 5lb bag of white potaoes, peeled and cut into chunks (bite-sized)
1 stalk of green onions, chopped
2tbl of sugar
1 packet of dry ranch dressing (Hidden Valley)
4 tbl of salad supreme
Mayo (Hellmans) 1cup or more to taste
Pepper to taste
6 slices of bacon

Cook bacon in pan until nice and crisp (always start bacon off in a cold pan). Drain on papertowels and set aside. (Save the bacon grease!! Lots of uses for it.)

Peel the potatoes and place in salted water, boil for 10-15 until tender, but not mushy. Drain and run under cool water.

In a mixing bowl, add the ranch packet, mayo, sugar, salad supreme and black pepper. Add potatoes on top and mix well (try not to overmix, or that will cause the potatoes to breakdown and become mashed potatoes). Crumple bacon and sprinkle on top of salad, and sprinkle chopped green onions on top as well!!! You can eat this warm or cold!!
