Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs red potatoes scrubbed and cubed into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp of knorrs chicken bouillon seasoning
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp creole seasoning
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 10 slices of bacon (divided) chopped
  • 1 bunch chopped green onions or chives (divided)

Method
 

  1. Boil the potatoes in water seasoned with chicken bouillon for 20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool for about 5 to 7 minutes so they are still warm.
  2. Cook bacon in the oven on a baking sheet lined with foil for 20 minutes at 400 degrees F or until brown and crispy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, creole seasoning and ranch seasoning until smooth.
  4. Add the cooled potatoes, 1 & 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 8 slices of cooked chopped bacon, and 3/4 of the bunch of chopped green onions into the bowl with the dressing. Fold until combined.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors mingle.
  6. Garnish with extra bacon, cheese, and green onions right before serving. Serve chilled or at room temp!
