Ingredients
- 1 lb baby gold potatoes
- 1 lb bacon
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onion
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoon ranch seasoning I use Selefina's "Dill-icious" Ranch Seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt for seasoning the potatoes
- ¼ tsp pepper for seasoning the potatoes
Instructions
- First, you will need to prepare the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 400. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork tender.
- Place the potatoes onto a large sheet pan. Then, using the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup, smash down the potatoes.
- Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes, then flip the potatoes, season with oil, salt/pepper again, and cook for another 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
- Next, cook up your bacon as you prefer. You will want the bacon to be crispy for superior texture. Coarsely chop up the bacon into small pieces. Set aside.
- Now, add the ranch seasoning blend and mayonnaise to a bowl and mix together.
- Add all components and remaining ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Serve warm or chilled!
