Ingredients

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced
1.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1.25 cups cooked bacon, crumbled

Instructions

In a large pot, place the potatoes and cover them with lightly salted water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 20 minutes. Once tender, drain the potatoes and rinse them under cold water until they are cool to the touch.
In a large bowl, combine the sour cream and ranch dressing mix. Add the cooled potatoes, green onions, cheddar cheese, and bacon to the bowl. Gently fold all the ingredients together until they are evenly coated with the dressing. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
