Let’s be honest we have all had potato salads we didn’t like for one reason or another, too much vinegar, too much relish, too many pickles etc. etc.
But this is one of the first potato salads that I actually love, the flavors go so well together a little tang from the miracle whip, crunch from the bacon, ranchy goodness and more. I feel like every good cookout deserves a good potato salad, you need the coolness that it provides paired with a good burger, bbq chicken or brat.
Hopefully y’all will give this one a try this weekend or anytime this Summer it’ll go great with any picnic, bbq or cookout!
I promise it’ll be a must make for any family gathering.
The essentials to make the best potato salad!
The flavors need to meld & cool together for at least an hour in the refrigerator after it’s made.

Baked Potato Salad
Course: Appetizers, Farm, Garden, Garden, Pork, Recipes14
servings30
minutes20
minutesIngredients
3 lb bag of small red potatoes
1/2 cup miracle whip
1/4 cup of ranch dressing
4-6 slices of cooked bacon chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt & cracked pepper
3 Green onions sliced
Directions
- Fill a large pot with potatoes and cover with water boil for roughly 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender with a fork. You can cut potatoes in half to speed up the cooking process. Be sure not to cook to long, we don’t want mushy potatoes.
- Once potatoes are cooked let them cool, (if you’re in a hurry submerge them in ice water). Peel potatoes, while leaving some of the peel on them for a rustic look & taste.
- Now add the rest of the ingredients, you may need to add more miracle whip & ranch then it calls for.
- Refrigerate for about and hour or more.
Notes
- I prefer red potatoes, but small yellow ones will also work.
