LOADED RANCH POTATO SALAD



Loaded Ranch Potato Salad image

My deli stopped carrying their ranch potato salad, so I needed to come up with one! This is a super easy potato salad--great for leftover boiled potatoes! (And no egg!) I also cheat and usually use the real bacon pieces from the store with dried snipped chives. I hope that you enjoy! Note: Cooking time is cooling time and does not include cooking the potatoes.

This is the easiest recipe because it can be altered in so many ways. Add a little taco seasoning to spice it up -- or you can add other veggies for texture.
