Bacon Ranch Potato Salad

Bacon Ranch Potato Salad

2 lbs red boiling potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 Tbsp Ranch dressing mix
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped fine
1/8 cup minced chives
1/8 cup minced red onion
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup dijon mustard
2 Tbsp Ranch dressing mix
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 oz smoked Gruyere, diced
1 handful of shredded cheddar
6 slices thick bacon, cooked until crisp and diced

Simmer the potatoes in boiling salted water with 1 Tbsp Ranch dressing mix until potatoes are completely cooked about 20-25 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Cool potatoes.

In a large bowl combine the chopped eggs, chives, red onion, sour cream, mayo, mustard, ranch dressing mix and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in potatoes, and cheeses and toss until well combined. Chill until ready to serve and then toss in the diced bacon just before serving.

This was a very good potato salad. John said it's the best he's ever had!
