Ingredients
  

  • 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • ¾ cup chopped green onion
  • 1 pound bacon slices
  • 5 pounds unpeeled red potatoes

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add whole potatoes, and cook until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, run under cold water to cool, and chop into 1 inch cubes. Transfer to a large serving bowl, and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise and green onion. Cover, and refrigerate for about 2 hours to blend flavors.
  • Wrap bacon in paper towels and place on a plate. Cook in the microwave until crisp, about 15 minutes depending on the power of your microwave. Cool.
  • Stir the mayonnaise mixture into the bowl of potatoes. Crumble bacon into the bowl and stir to distribute. Serve.
