More About This Recipe

  • This is the best thing that’s happened to potato salad since our Loaded Baked Potato Salad! Never heard of ranch potato salad before? Totally fine because it will become the topic of conversation at your next potluck! This recipe is only five ingredients and since it has both chicken and bacon in it, you could even eat this for a quick lunch. If you want to simplify this already-easy side dish, use rotisserie chicken and pre-packaged bacon bits. The potluck season is long—check out what other potato salads we’re making for our picnics and parties, including how to master the classic potato salad.
