Cheddar Bacon Ranch Potato Salad

May 7, 2018 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

I am excited to partner with BJ’s Wholesale Club to bring you this recipe. While this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Cheddar bacon ranch potato salad is the absolute best BBQ, potluck, tailgate, any event dish you will find! With just a few ingredients, this semi-homemade recipe is always a huge crowd pleaser so be sure to make double so everyone can enjoy seconds!

Semi-homemade recipes are the best when you are in a pinch to take along food for an event or need to feed a crowd without a lot of work. This cheddar ranch potato salad with bacon starts with a yummy red bliss potato salad and then gets doctored up for a final dish that is truly party/bbq/picnic ready!

BJ’s Wholesale Club is always my first stop when planning a party or to buy supplies to take a dish to a potlock, BBQ or picnic. They have everything you need in a one stop shop. You can easily serve their Wellsley Farms red bliss potato salad right out of the container as it is delicious. 

But, if you are like me, you might want your potato salad to look a little more like homemade but without all the time and effort it actually takes to make it from scratch. So, I start with the Wellsley Farms potato salad and add a few ingredients to make it into my own loaded potato salad. Our BJ’s Wholesale Club even carries an awesome microwave ready bacon which makes the perfect addition to this ranch potato salad!

Yep, you only need a total of four ingredients to be able to serve the best tasting loaded potato salad ever! I am serious when I say people will be talking about your bacon ranch potato salad for years to come when you serve this version.

Oh, and don’t worry, you can totally mix this together way in advance and it will still be delicious come event time. Just keep it in the fridge until you are ready to serve. I do sprinkle extra bacon on top just before I put it out though.

While you are at BJ’s Wholesale Club, be sure to grab everything else you need like one of their amazing vegetable platters, fruit platters, or, my personal favorite, the cookie and brownie platter! No one can resist cookies and brownies after all.

{Hint: If you are really pressed for time and even a semi-homemade recipe will take too long, don’t fret.  Visit BJs.com/PartyPlanning and order one of BJ’s deli platters to pick up in-club in just 36 hours – they’re perfect for grab and go entertaining.}

    Love the ingredients in this salad but I have never seen Wellsley products in our stores. The ranch dressing and bacon both have a lot of salt. Do you have to find a low salt salad?

      Wellsley products are sold exclusively at BJ’s Wholesale Club. I have no specifically looked for a low salt salad but it is a great option if you need to watch salt intake.
