For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the ranch dressing. If you prefer a lighter potato salad, you can substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise. To save time, you can cook the bacon in the oven instead of the microwave. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy. This potato salad is best served cold, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
