1

Boil 2-3 lbs of red potatoes cut into small chunks in a medium-sized pan with hot boiling water for approximately 20 minutes.

2

While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the sauce by mixing 16 oz of sour cream with a 1 oz packet of ranch dressing mix in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

3

Once the potatoes are done, drain them in a strainer and run cold water over them to stop the cooking process.

4

Transfer the cooled potatoes into a large mixing bowl.

5

Pour the prepared sauce over the potatoes.

6

Add 1 ½ cups of cooked, crumbled bacon to the potato mixture and stir gently to combine without mashing the potatoes.

7

Incorporate 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture.

8

Add ½ cup of chopped green onions and season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring gently to combine.

9

Chill the potato salad for 2-3 hours before serving, or preferably make it a day ahead for better flavor.
