Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed
1 (12 ounce) package sliced bacon
2 cups sour cream
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1 bunch green onions, chopped
¾ cup chopped green olives
5 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1 pinch Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons ranch salad dressing
1 pinch paprika, as garnish

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tender enough to pierce with a fork. Drain, cool enough to handle, and cut into cubes.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Reserve bacon grease.
  • In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard, green onions, olives, eggs, Italian seasoning and ranch dressing. Crumble the bacon into the bowl and pour half of the reserved bacon grease over all. Stir gently until everything is evenly distributed. Garnish with a dash of paprika before serving.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped celery and hard-boiled eggs.

The potatoes were a little undercooked for my liking. I'll cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

This potato salad was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my potato salad turned out bland. I think I'll add more mustard and vinegar next time.
