Description

This cool and creamy bacon ranch potato salad is the perfect spring or summer side dish. It’s full of flavor from crispy bacon and a homemade dairy-free ranch dressing that pulls it all together.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds red potatoes, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion
  • 1 tablespoon dill

Instructions

  1. Add the potatoes to a large bot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and then add a generous sprinkle of salt (around one or two teaspoons). Let the potatoes boil in the salted water for 12-15 minutes or until fork tender.
  2. Slice the bacon into strips and then add it to a skillet heated over medium heat. Cook until crispy, stirring occasionally to make sure that it does not burn.
  3. Add the mayonnaise, dried herbs, spices, and apple cider vinegar to a small mixing bowl and whisk until well combined, smooth, and creamy.
  4. Add the cooked potatoes, sliced green onions, cooked bacon, and ranch dressing to a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. Give the potato salad a taste and add more salt if needed. Cover and refrigerate for thirty minutes before serving.
