HIDDEN VALLEY POTATO SALAD RECIPES

Steps:

• Boil your pasta according to package instructions. You want the pasta to be al dente so it's not overcooked.
• While your pasta is boiling, gather all your other ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, mix up your Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning, Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix Packet with the mayo, sour cream, milk and garlic powder and set aside.
• Place all other ingredients in a large bowl.
• Once your pasta is finished, rinse under a cool stream of water until all the pasta is cool.
• Place the pasta in with the other ingredients, add the dressing and toss until well-coated.
• Chill or serve right away.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, and allow to cool to room temperature. Dice once cooled.
• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool, and crumble the bacon into a large bowl.
• Place the cooled potatoes into the bowl with the bacon, and mix in the sour cream, mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, chives, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate overnight before serving.
