Super Easy Red Potato Salad #recipe that has just 5 ingredients | MoneywiseMoms

With favorite flavors like bacon and ranch, this is the summer version of a loaded baked potato.

It's the perfect side dish for grilled chicken, fish, or even burgers.

I find the potatoes cook faster if I cube them first (large-sized chunks), then boil.

If you're not a fan of bottled ranch dressing, you can make your own with buttermilk and mayonnaise. Try this homemade ranch dressing recipe from Daily Rebecca.

These flavors go so well together. I'd love to know if you give this recipe a try. Just leave a comment below!

This looks yum. I’m not even a big fan of potato salad, but mmmn!
I’d end up w. turkey bacon since I don’t eat pork, but pinned this to have for future reference!
