Equipment
1
strainer
1 large sauce pot
1
Pot Minder Boil Disk
prevents pot from boiling over
Ingredients
3
pounds
red potatoes
scrubbed, peeled, and diced in 2 inch pieces
1
12 ounce package bacon
cooked and crumbled
1
cup
sour cream
¾
cup
mayonnaise
3
tablespoons
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1
tablespoon
chives
Salt and pepper
to taste
Instructions
Place the diced potatoes in a large stockpot and fill with water to about 1 inch above the potatoes.
Salt the water according to your preference.
Bring the water to boil over medium-high heat (this is where you would add the
pot minder disk
to prevent boiling over).
Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to medium and boil for 8 to 12 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes using a strainer.
In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients until well blended.
Add the potatoes, folding them into the dressing.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Instant Pot Directions
Add 1-2 cups of water to the pot.
Place a steamer basket into the pressure cooker pot.
Add diced potatoes to the steamer basket and sprinkle with salt.
Seal the pressure cooker lid and set the valve to sealing.
Program the pressure cooker to manual for 5 minutes.
After the cycle is complete, switch the valve to venting for a quick pressure release.
In a large mixing bowl, stir the remaining ingredients together until well combined.
Add the potatoes, folding them into the dressing.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Use red or yellow potatoes for best results.
Chopped green onion may be used in place of the chives.
Bacon bits may be substituted for the crumbled bacon.
