Ingredients

  • 14 small boiling potatoes, such as red bliss, about 2 1/2 pounds, scrubbed well
  • 6 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, cool, then cut the potatoes into halves.

In a large mixing bowl combine potatoes with all remaining ingredients and gently toss to combine. Refrigerate the salad several hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

    This is the best potato salad I have ever tasted. The ranch really gives it something special. I usually make this a day or two before we plan to eat it to allow the flavors to blend. It's definitely a crowd pleaser!

    I've been making this potato salad for 1 year now and everybody loves it. There are never any leftovers. I make the recipe as is with no substitutions. I definitely believe using a great ranch dressing is the key. I use "Naturally Fresh Ranch Dressing" usually found in the vegetable section refrigerated. I would not recommend using Hidden Valley or any of the other dressings that are not refrigerated at the store. I also recommend using quality bacon.

    Update 2/08/13: I have now been making this Potato Salad for 4+ years and it is still my favorite potato salad. I always get rave reviews when I make this. You can not go wrong with potatoes, bacon & ranch dressing (as long as it's a good ranch dressing. I would recommend making it the night before serving, the flavors blend well together and taste great the next day.

    Well, sorry to say, I am not a fan of this salad. With all the raves I read, I thought wow, this is really going to be delicious - not.
