Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds potatoes, (baby potatoes or small, cut into bite-sized chunks)
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt, (for the cooking water, plus more to taste if needed)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix, (dry mix)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, (or to taste)
  • 3 scallions chopped, (chopped, save some of the dark green tops for garnish)
  • 4 slices bacon, (cooked, crumbled)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, (or vinegar or dill pickle juice)

Instructions

  • Cook the potatoes: Put the chunks of potatoes in cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a bowl or return them to the pan to cool.
  • Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch dressing mix, and green onions until well blended.
  • Creamy homemade chunky cucumber salad with herbs.
  • Combine: Gently fold in the cooled potatoes and bacon and season with black pepper to taste.
  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate the ranch potato salad until serving time. Taste and adjust the seasonings, and garnish with sliced green onion tops.
