Random Recipes- Picnic Edition

May 23rd, 2008 Melanie Posted in Cooking | 10 Comments »

For this weeks Random Recipe exchange, Pam challenged us to share a picnic recipe.  With this being Memorial Day weekend, and the unofficial start to summer you know there will be lots of BBQ’s going on. 

The recipe I am sharing is for a potato salad that my mom makes.  It isn’t like your regular mustard type of potato salad.  And I am not exaggerating when I tell you I could eat the entire recipe by myself.  It is that good.

Potato Salad

Ingredients:
2 pounds small red potatoes, cooked
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1 cup Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dressing (I’ve made it with other brands and it is not the same.)
Black pepper
8 slices bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled

Directions:
Cut slightly cooled small red potatoes into 1 inch cubes. In large bowl combine potatoes, green onions and ranch dressing. Toss gently and dust with pepper. Garnish with bacon. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Stop by Pam’s blog to see what everyone else is cooking up this weekend.

Make sure you have entered my latest GIVEAWAY for a Hip-T.  It ends tonight at 11:59pm (EST).

Have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend!

   We used to make something like that at one of the restaurants I worked with. The only difference is that we would use tasso and add a little liquid smoke to the sauce.
   And in our area sometimes we boil the potatoes with a little crab boil for some added punch.
