know this post is old…but made this for my sister and brother in law and it was a huge hit! So yummy and creamy. The only modification I made was I added 1 TBSP white wine vinegar (only bc I’m a vinegar fiend). We ate the entire dish. Thanks for a great recipe!!
Wonderful and so easy! This was a big hit! I also followed the others and used sour cream AND mayo. I’ll be making this one again very soon. Thanks for the great recipe!
Great recipe for a change up on traditional potato salad. Based on other reviewers suggestions, I used 1 cup mayo and 1 cup sour cream. Added 1/2 tsp of chili powder to kick it up a notch. Will definitely be making this again for a change of pace.
The only thing I change is to cut up the potatoes before boiling them. My husband badgers me to make this all the time. The bacon gets soggy after it’s been mixed in, so wait until the latest possible moment to put it in.
This went over well at our Dad’s Day BBQ. Subbing sour cream for half the mayo added nice flavor. I followed a previous reviewer’s recommendation and used less turkey bacon… do NOT do this. The bacon was the best part!! Added more sliced green onions and real bacon bits to the top for presentation.
If you like ranch dressing then you would definitely enjoy this recipe. I’m not that crazy about ranch so this was just ok for me. I made this for a party today (along with four other salads). A few people loved it, including my son and my brother-in-law. I did use 1 cup of sour cream and 1 cup mayo. Anyway thanks for sharing. I know I will be making this again for othe parties.
Pretty good! Definitely has a different flavor, but I really like it. Just make sure to cook the bacon till really crisp, so it doesn’t get soggy, and it also gives it more flavor.
Ingredients:
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix

This was good, a nice change from the regular potato salad, however I felt it was missing something. Maybe green pepper or celery or cheese? I also pan fried my turkey bacon and just used mayo with the ranch dressing. Will have to play with, but I would definitely try. It came out very well. Maybe the cheddar cheese will do the trick as others have suggested.
Rave reviews from everyone in the MOMS Club of Abingdon. Excellent and extremely easy! I let the marinade sit over night and used some of those real bacon bits instead of real bacon and still came out great!
This is awesome. I made it at a family reunion and everyone wanted to recipe. Per other suggestions I used half mayo and half sour cream. I also did not let it sit 2 hrs. Maybe a half hour. The bacon was crispy which everyone thought added to the salad. LOVED IT!
I don’t usually review recipes, but I thought this one deserved it. If anyone is hesitant to try this, don’t be. I took a family poll try this recipe or my tried and true family favorite mayo with mustard and egg potato salad. Everyone picked the usual, so I made the ranch potato salad instead.
EVERYONE loved it! Here are some changes I made for my family: 1/2 mayo, 1/2 sour cream; through in a little white vinegar (2 Tbls) because we like ours to have a little zip; also added some heavy cream because I had it and I needed to loosen up the dressing a little bit; didn’t have a lot of green onions so I used sweet onions; lastly I used turkey bacon. Honestly, I will take this to the 4th of July celebration. I am usually asked to bring my potato salad, but this year I am going to bring this potato salad. It is that good.
Ingredients:
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
2 cups mayonnaise
3/4 cup chopped green onion
1 pound turkey bacon slices
5 pounds unpeeled red potatoes
Directions:
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add whole potatoes, and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, run under cold water to cool, and chop into 1 inch cubes.
Transfer to a large serving bowl, and refrigerate until

In a small bowl, stir together the ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise and green onion. Cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours to blend flavors.
