Bacon Ranch potato salad

This potato salad is my absolute favorite. Try it out!
2.5 lbs potatoes
1 lb shredded cheddar cheese
1 lb crumbled bacon
1 C. ranch dressing

Boil the whole unpeeled potatoes for about 20 minutes. Then, while hot, lightly score the circumfrence of a potato with a sharp knife,and drop it in a bowl of ice water. Stir around for about 10 second and pull them out. The peel comes off so easily using this method! Do one potato at a time though, so they don't get cold waiting for you to take off the skins.
Next, dice the potatoes and cover them with cheese. Stir and cover with foil for a few minutes to let the cheese will melt all over the potatoes.
Then stir in the bacon and ranch. Let sit in the fridge for about an hour, or as long as it takes or it to get cold.

You can double, triple, quadruple this recipe. And you're going to want to. You'll be eating this thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (I would assume. Of course I wouldn't know from personal experience....er,....)

I took a couple pictures of this as I put it together-- but just know I'm not in this for my photography skills.
And I hope you're not reading this looking for a diet healthy recipe!! 'Cause this one is just plain yummy. You'll thank me later.
