No Mayo Potato Salad

I know not everyone loves potato salad made with mayonnaise, so to make it super creamy we’re going to use ranch salad dressing instead!

This potato salad is made in 20 minutes and only uses 6 ingredients.  And what a bonus, no peeling potatoes, we’re just washing and cubing these red potatoes up!  With every bite you’re going to get a nice crunch due to the celery and onion.
