1-First, take your 2 pounds of petite red potatoes, dice them into bite-size chunks, and boil them in salted water for about 10 minutes until they’re tender. Once done, drain and cool them to avoid making the dressing watery later on. This step is key for keeping the potatoes firm and ready to absorb those amazing flavors.

2-Next, in a large bowl, toss the cooled potatoes with 2/3 cup of ranch dressing, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 6 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon, and 1/3 cup of green onions. Gently mix everything to coat the potatoes evenly, then season with salt and pepper to taste. For the best results, serve it immediately for crispier bacon or chill it for up to one day to let the tastes meld.

3-If you’re looking to mix things up, consider reserving some bacon and green onions for garnish, as that adds a nice visual touch.
