• 2 cups mayonnaise
• 1 pound bacon slices
• 5 pounds unpeeled red potatoes
• 0.75 cup chopped green onion

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add whole potatoes, and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, run under cold water to cool, and chop into 1 inch cubes. Transfer to a large serving bowl, and refrigerate until completely chilled.

Step 2

Meanwhile, stir ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise, and green onion together in a small bowl. Cover, and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to blend.

Step 3

Wrap bacon in paper towels and place on a plate. Cook in the microwave until crisp, about 15 minutes depending on the power of your microwave. Set bacon aside to cool.

Step 4

Add mayonnaise mixture to potatoes and toss to coat. Crumble bacon into the bowl, and stir briefly. Serve.
