AWESOME "COOKOUT" BACON RANCH POTATO SALAD



Awesome

I don't like just ANY potato salad. But there is a local BBQ restaurant that I, along with MANY others agree is THE BEST potato salad there is. In my opinion, this recipe is a close second, (or at least I like it almost as much.) When bringing this to a potluck event, I have been asked for the recipe and told it was the best...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium red potatoes
lemon pepper
garlic salt
onion powder
6 slice bacon
3 whole green onions, diced
1 c ranch dressing
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cut potatoes into cubes and place in microwaveable dish. Season with lemon pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Cover and mircowave on high for 10 minutes.
  • 2. While potatoes are cooking, use kitchen shears to dice bacon into small pieces; place in a small skillet. Cook bacon until brown and crispy. Remove bacon and let drain on paper towel lined plate.
  • 3. Stir potatoes, cover and microwave for another 5 minutes on high, or until potatoes are tender.
  • 4. Remove potatoes from microwave; stir in bacon and the remaining ingredients. Cover and let chill.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the potato salad will taste. Use fresh potatoes, crisp bacon, and a creamy, tangy ranch dressing.
  • Cook the potatoes perfectly: Potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and fall apart.
  • Let the potatoes cool completely: Before adding the dressing, let the potatoes cool completely. This will help the dressing to adhere to the potatoes and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want the potato salad to be too heavy or greasy. Add the dressing in small increments until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Add mix-ins to your liking: Feel free to add other ingredients to your potato salad, such as chopped celery, onion, or hard-boiled eggs.
