Equipment

  • 1 large cookie sheet pan
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 sharp knife for cutting vegetables
  • 1 skillet for frying bacon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • parchment paper
  • 1 spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 lbs. small red potatoes diced
  • 1/2 medium-sized sweet onion chopped
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 3/4 to 1 tsp. coarse sea salt or as desired
  • 1/3 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 to 10 slices bacon crisp cooked and crumbled (I used 12 ounces)
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup prepared lite Ranch dressing (I used Kraft Deluxe Ultimate Ranch Dressing)
  • 1/4 cup lite mayonnaise (I used Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise)

Instructions
 

  • Pour olive oil into a mixing bowl.
  • Add potatoes, sweet onion, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Toss ingredients to coat.
  • Line a 11x17” jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • Arrange potato mixture in a single layer on parchment paper-lined 11x17” jellyroll pan.
  • Bake at 425º for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
  • Stir occasionally while baking.
  • Remove pan from oven.
  • Transfer potatoes to a large salad bowl.
  • Toss potatoes with crumbled, cooked, bacon, green onions, Ranch dressing and mayonnaise.
  • Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, as desired. (See note below).
  • Serve immediately, or cover with lid and chill until ready to serve.

Notes

NOTE: Potatoes can be baked an additional 10 minutes longer if you want crispier potatoes in the salad.
 
NOTE: This Ranch Dressing is the only store-bought brand I could find without MSG.
 
NOTE: If you use plain Ranch Dressing you may want to include all of the salt. The salad dressing I used had more seasoning, plus the addition of extra bacon included more salt, so the lesser amount of salt was sufficient.
