If the texture of a mayonnaise-based potato salad isn’t your thing, this ranch potato salad recipe just might be the one for you. Bonus: It also includes bacon and cheese.

Ingredients

2 pounds red potatoes
1 bottle (8 ounces) ranch salad dressing
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package (2.8 ounces) bacon bits
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Dash garlic powder

Directions

Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender, 20-25 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (dressing will be thick). Drain potatoes and cut into cubes; add to the dressing and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.
