As soon as I saw this recipe in a July issue of Women's World magazine I knew it was going to be one I'd have to try. Who doesn't love a loaded baked potato or potato skin? This recipe uses all the classic ingredients including sour cream, scallions, cheddar cheese and lots of bacon! I can't believe I never thought this one up myself. Anyway this potato salad is both tasty and easy.
2 lbs of red potatoes cubed
4 slices of bacon ( I used 6)
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup ranch dressing
2 scallions, sliced
2 T Italian flat leaf parsley
1 T white vinegar
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used sharp cheddar)
In a large pot add potatoes to enough salted water to cover them and bring to a boil and let simmer about 10 to 12 minutes. (Check towards the end of the cooking for desired firmness.) Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
In a non-stick skillet cook up the bacon until crispy and drain on paper towel. After they have cooled break or cut with scissors into small pieces.
In a large bowl blend together the sour cream, Ranch dressing and vinegar with half of the bacon, scallions, parsley and cheddar cheese. Toss the cooled potatoes in and cover with dressing. Transfer the potato salad to another bowl and top with the remaining parsley, scallions, bacon and cheese. Chill for about 2 hours.
Wouldn't this be a fabulous recipe to take to your next BBQ or picnic!
Wishing you all a wonderful end to your week!!
