Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 0.75 cup Ranch dressing
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 3 pieces Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 cup Celery, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
Directions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes if desired, and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Step 2
Add the potato chunks to the boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Do not overcook to avoid them falling apart.
Step 3
Drain the cooked potatoes and immediately sprinkle them with the white vinegar while they are still warm. Set them aside to cool completely.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Step 5
Add the cooled potatoes to the dressing mixture along with the crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, chopped dill, and diced celery. Gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir to redistribute the dressing. Serve cold, garnished with extra dill or bacon if desired.
