The Best Potato Salad


I've never really been a potato salad fan... SO I decided to come up with one I love.  I succeeded!  This potato salad is so delicious!  To double it for a crowd, use a 5lb bag of potatoes and double the other ingredients.  Here's a little secret about this salad... You can warm the leftovers up in the morning and serve them with ketchup for breakfast.  I even top mine with eggs!  Delish!

The Best Potato Salad

For the potatoes:

6 potatoes
¼-1/3 c. oil
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp garlic salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Cut potatoes into bite sized pieces. Toss potatoes with remaining ingredients in a bowl or baggie. Bake at 350 for around 20 minutes or until done, turning after 10 minutes. Let cool.

For the dressing:

½ c. mayo
¼ c. buttermilk
2 tsp ranch dressing mix powder
½ c. real bacon bits or diced cooked bacon
½ c. shredded cheese

Mix ingredients well and mix with cooled, roasted potatoes. Refrigerate before serving.  Feel free to add more bacon and cheese if desired. Mmmm


I've made this salad a few times now, including for my 4th of July eats cooking class last week. I also made it for my baby sister's graduation party on Friday.  Here I am with my sisters at the party :)


And I couldn't resist sharing this pic.  I love the face I'm making!  haha!

Looks yummy! Did you use russet, yukon gold, red or some other kind of potatoes? I usually use red...but wanted to check and see which kind you used. The idea of heating it up for breakfast is very unique and something I would never have thought of! Thanks!

I used plain old russet potatoes and didn't even peel them :)

Yum! I usually can't potato salads because I am allergic to eggs, but your egg free recipe sounds delish! Plus anything with bacon and cheese is bound to be fantastic.
