A creamy and delicious potato salad with amazing ranch flavor and bacon! This is the perfect side to take to a potluck and is sure to be a huge hit!
Is anyone else struggling to get through these last couple days of school? I have been counting down the minutes that my kids get out of school. I am pretty sure that I am just as excited as they are about school being out. My kids have been lucky to be dressed and to school on time. Every morning when my alarm goes off I am tempted to keep them home because it is the last week! But then I remember that I am now the responsible parent and so I drag myself out of bed. But I keep telling myself it is only two more days and I can do it!
I am ready for summer. And I am ready for all of the barbecues! It is my favorite part of summer. I LOVE finding new side dishes to take. And this Bacon Ranch Potato Salad will blow your mind!
I love the bacon ranch combo. Ranch is one of our favorites! And when you add bacon to anything it makes it amazing. But as soon as I had my first bite of this potato salad I was amazed. This is the best potato salad that I have had to date. It has simple and delicious ingredients and comes together in no time at all.
You guys are going to love it! I promise that it will become a favorite and be the perfect side for your next potluck!

Could I use full fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream? Thank you!
Are you half sour cream half mayonnaise The rest the same
Very delicious and easy to make. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Everyone loved it at the Potluck.
Can you freeze this if I want to make a week ahead ?
This recipe is best served fresh!
it has potential, but we thought it to heavy and thick with just sour cream. Next time I will try bottled ranch dressing for a creamier consistency.
Use Cacique Crema Mexicana Agria in place of the sour cream. It’s Mexican Sour cream and it’s a much thinner consistency and even better flavor. We replaced sour cream with this stuff in my house years ago
