kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Place potatoes into a large heavy pot filled with water. Generously salt the water. Bring to a boil and then simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or to desired tenderness. Do not overcook, or end results may turn mushy. Once potatoes are just-tender, immediately remove from heat and drain. Rinse potatoes thoroughly with cold water to halt the cooking process. Drain again and let potatoes cool completely.
Gently fold in in some of the ranch dressing, to desired consistency. Fold in remaining ingredients until just combined, including kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
Note: red potato ranch salad keeps well when sealed airtight and chilled
You can also use Hidden Valley Dips Ranch packets to make variations of ranch dressing to use for this recipe.
Notes
