Home / Cooking with canning / Ranch potato salad

Ranch potato salad

Filed Under: Cooking with canning, Salads Tagged With: Potatoes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is a delicious, quick potato salad you can make using the home pressure-canned potatoes in your pantry storage.

Ideally, for the best plate appeal, you’ll want to can waxy potatoes for this, such as red-skinned potatoes in North America, so that you don’t end up with a potato salad that is mushy in texture. But other potatoes will do.

Just remember the golden rule about all potato salads: chill for at least a few hours before serving.

Double recipe if you wish.

NOTE: Only use this recipe if you have pressure-canned your potatoes exactly following USDA standards (also used in Ball and Bernardin books.)

This recipe uses:

Home-canned red potatoes

DIY Ranch Mix

Yield: 4 x 1 cup (250 g / 8 oz) servings

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  1. Open the jar of salad potatoes, empty into a large bowl. Dump any water off into the sink. Cover with fresh water from tap, and wash any starch residue off.
  2. Set aside to let drain well through a sieve for a few minutes.
  3. Wash, peel and chop the onion.
  4. Mix all the ingredients from the prepared onion down to and including the salt, if using.
  5. Mix the potatoes and dressing together. Chill for 2 hours, more is even better.
  6. Serve sprinkled with the bacon bits and parsley, if using.

Recipe notes

For a ranchier taste, feel free to add another teaspoon or so of the ranch mix.

If you have any sour cream to hand, it’s nice to use half mayo (or Miracle Whip) and half sour cream. Gives a lighter, tangier taste.

    I enjoy a recipe like this but my recipe uses a whole pkg of Ranch dry dressing mixed with mayonnaise. I also, use half -whole pkg of bacon to it.
