Equipment
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
- Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat dry, and cut 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.
- In a large colander, drain potatoes in sink, and run cold water over potatoes. Lightly toss to help potatoes cool, until potatoes are no longer hot.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, and chives until combined. You can taste the dressing at this point and see if you'd like to adjust to taste - a bit of cayenne or Aleppo pepper can add a bit of a spicy kick!
- Add the cooled 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.
- Do not mix hot potatoes with dressing - it will weep and separate.
