Ingredients

• 2 lbs Red skin potatoes
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Ranch seasoning mix
• 2 tbsp Dill (fresh, chopped)
• 3 Green onions (sliced)
• 0.5 cup Bacon (cooked and crumbled)
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red skin potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Do not overcook.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool completely. You can spread them out on a baking sheet to speed up the cooling process.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch seasoning mix, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well incorporated to create the dressing.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cool, add them to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 7

Fold in the sliced green onions, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese, being careful not to mash the potatoes.

Step 8

Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with additional dill, green onions, or bacon, if desired.

Step 10

Serve chilled and enjoy!
