Loaded Bacon Ranch Potato Salad
Here is another recipe that I couldn’t believe I had never blogged before? This Loaded Bacon & Ranch Potato Salad is a staple around here! It goes good with just about anything, but we especially love it as a side for any type of grilled or smoked meat. Bacon & ranch potato salad recipes have been around a WHILE. The biggest difference in mine is I use way more bacon than most people 😉 This is a huge hit if you are looking for a dish to bring for a party. And definitely make it a day ahead of time to give the flavors a chance to meld. If you like bacon, ranch & cheese (and who doesn’t?), then this recipe is for you!
