Instructions

1. Begin by boiling the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are tender but still firm, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool completely.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions. Gently fold them together to ensure an even distribution.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch dressing, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
4. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture. Carefully toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated in the creamy dressing.
5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
6. Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with extra bacon and green onions if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
