Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds baby red or Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (thick style or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • fine sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (or green onions)
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles or relish (optional)
  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for garnish (optional)
  • 3 slices turkey bacon or halal beef bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional; no pork)

Instructions
 

  • Add potatoes to a large pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer 10–12 minutes until just fork-tender.
  • Drain well and spread potatoes on a sheet pan to steam-dry and cool to room temperature (15–20 minutes). Do not mix while hot.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together ranch dressing, mayonnaise, Dijon, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper.
  • Stir in celery, red onion (or green onions), pickles if using, and most of the dill or parsley.
  • Gently fold in cooled potatoes (and chopped eggs if using) until evenly coated. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover and chill at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) to let flavors meld.
  • Before serving, stir, then garnish with cheddar and crumbled turkey bacon or halal beef bacon if desired. Sprinkle remaining herbs over the top.
