I am not a fan of potato salad. I know people love it. I even have a friend that eats potato salad sandwiches (he mean’t to do it)! I just don’t like the cold mayonnaise and mustard covered potatoes. All that being said, I loved this potato salad. It uses Ranch dressing instead of of mayonnaise and has crispy bacon tossed in. It reminded me of crack potatoes – all it needed was cheddar cheese. I served this warm with the BBQ Chicken from yesterday’s post. It was absolutely delicious!! I plan on making it again this weekend for Memorial Day.
