Today we are joining up with our friends for the monthly budget friendly recipe series hosted by Marty at A Stroll Thru Life. I have gotten so many great new dinner ideas from these monthly posts! I am sharing one of my tried and true picnic/pot luck recipes with you today. It is an easy recipe I have had for years and unlike the traditional mayo-laden potato salad, it has a bit more trendy appeal with the combo of crispy bacon and ranch. This is always one of my kids very favorite side dishes.

I serve this with anything we make on the grill, be it chicken, or ribs or even burgers. I almost always have all the ingredients on hand, especially in the summertime. My only caution is that the potatoes tend to shrink up a bit so definitely buy and cut up more than you think you will need. I also think it tastes best freshly made or slightly chilled so I try to not make it too far ahead. Here is the printable recipe:
