Instructions
Bacon Ranch Potato Salad
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Transfer the sliced potatoes into a large bowl.
- Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Using your hands or a spoon, mix the potatoes, oil and seasoning until evenly coated.
- Dump the potatoes out onto a large coated sheet pan and spread them into a single layer.
- Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, use a metal spatula to stir and mix so they cook evenly.
- Cook for another 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, whip up the ranch dressing, cook the bacon and slice the red onions.
- Remove the cooked potatoes and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the ranch dressing over the cooked potatoes and add in the chopped bacon and red onions.
- Mix together until combined.
- Garnish with fresh dill and serve hot.
Ranch
- Add the mayo along with the rest of the ingredients to a wide mouth mason jar.
- Using an immersion blender, blend until combined.
- Once combined, check the consistency. If you would like thinner, just add a little more coconut milk and mix together with a spoon.
- Serve immediately or place lid on the jar and store in the fridge for up to one week
Notes
- This salad is best served hot, but it's also really good served cold. You can make it a day in advanced and store covered in the fridge.
- Store any additional ranch dressing in a mason jar up to one week in the fridge.
