Ingredients

  • 6 medium potatoes peeled, cooked & cut in chunks
  • 1 cup thinly sliced celery
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 4 strips crisp-cooked bacon diced
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs chopped coarsely
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrot optional

DRESSING

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 tbsp vinegar
  • 2 tsp ranch salad dressing mix the dry stuff
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes, celery, onion, eggs, bacon, parsley and carrot (if using) in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
  • In a small bowl, mix dressing ingredients. I started out with the 1 tbs of vinegar, then tasted. If you prefer the dressing more on the tart side, add the additional tbs of vinegar.
  • Fold dressing into the potato mixture. Cover and chill for about 1 hour.
  • Serves 6
