Bacon Potato Salad
5 lb red potatoes, boiled, sliced
1 cup Hellman's mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream*
1/2 lb bacon, fried**, drained, crumbled
2 hard boiled eggs, diced
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1 packet Ranch Dressing mix
Mix potatoes, mayonnaise, sour cream, bacon, eggs, celery, and dressing mix. Add equal parts of more mayo and sour cream if not moist enough. Put in bowl, chill.
*Low fat sour cream works fine. If lower fat mayonnaise is needed, substitute only half the Hellman's for light. The Hellman's has the best flavor.
**Can use turkey bacon or Morningstar Farms veggie bacon, both are good.
