BACON RANCH POTATO SALAD
2 lbs. red potatoes
1 bottle (8 oz.) ranch or bacon & ranch salad dressing (Sometimes I use more)
1 C. shredded cheddar cheese
1 pkg. (2.8 oz.) real bacon bits
1/4 tsp. pepper
Dash of garlic powder
Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients (dressing will be thick). Drain potatoes and cut into cubes; add to the dressing and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.
(I usually double this recipe for family cookouts - it goes fast!)
