Ingredients

  • 2 lbs red potatoes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons chives minced
  • 1 cup bacon chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Clean and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and add to a large pot and fill with water to about 1 inch over the top of the potatoes.
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Drain and run cold water over the potatoes until cooled.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and chives until combined.
  • Add the potatoes, bacon, and cheese to a large bowl and pour the dressing over the top then toss to combine. Chill for 2 hours for the best flavor.

Notes

  • 2 lbs of red potatoes is about 7 large or 5 medium.
  • For a stronger ranch flavor, the yogurt can be substituted for ranch dressing.
  • If desired, additions like chopped red onion or hard-boiled eggs could be added to this recipe.
