Bacon Ranch Pasta Potato Salad

Not long after I graduated from high school – I bought a small magazine-like cookbook called Pasta while I was waiting in line at the grocery store to check out.  I still have it and flip through it at least once a year.  It holds many classic recipes that are fun to me to look through over and over again.  The Bacon Ranch Pasta Potato Salad is a spin on a recipe from that small cookbook that was published June 1998.

Let’s Get Crafty!


Boil each until cooked – then combine in a large bowl:
10 small red potatoes
1/2 pound pasta (generally boxes are 1 lb – so I cooked 1/2 box)
This is great and more colorful with colorful rotini pasta but we didn’t have any on this day.

Other fun things to add:

Cooked bacon, chopped
Diced peppers

Dressing – mix together and then stir into the pasta and potatoes:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup ranch dressing

Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you have a great day.
