Ready in: 1 hour 40 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 8

• 4 cups cubed red potatoes
• 7 bacon slices
• 1 1/3 cups mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons prepared ranch salad dressing
• 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 4 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Preparation method

Prep: 25 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Extra time: 1 hour, chilling

1. In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with water and place over medium-high heat. When the water boils, turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain, allow to dry for a minute, and place in large mixing bowl.

2. While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon. Put on paper towels to drain. When it’s cool, crumble it.

3. Whisk together the mayonnaise, cheese, ranch dressing, mustard, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.

4. Add onion, bacon, and parsley to the potatoes, then toss with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. This cools down the dish, and lets the flavors blend.
