Ingredients

  • 5 cups diced golden potatoes
  • 6 slices cooked and chopped bacon
  • 3 stalks diced celery
  • 3 diced green onions
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup Primal Kitchen Ranch
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Boil diced potatoes for 15-20 minutes in lightly salted water (the exact time will depend on how large or small your potatoes are diced) until fork tender and still a bit crisp
  2. Immediately drain and run cold water over potatoes to stop the cooking process and cool down. Let the potatoes sit for a bit to cool further
  3. Reserve some chopped bacon and green onion for garnishing if you’d like, and then combine vegetables, chopped bacon, potatoes, buffalo sauce and ranch dressing into a large bowl. Stir gently to combine, ensuring not to over mix which can “mash” the potatoes or allow them to not hold their shape
  4. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days

Notes

  • Add 1/2 cup chopped broccoli for an extra crunch
  • The buffalo sauce I love is this one from Primal Kitchen. It’s made with cashew butter so it’s more creamy and less vinegar-y than typical buffalo sauces
  • Or use the recipe for Homemade Ranch Dressing
