Base Ingredients

2 lbs baby potatoes Feel free to use Yukon Gold potatoes for a similar effect.
2 cups cooked chicken Use rotisserie chicken for convenience or any leftover grilled chicken.
1 cup mayonnaise Try Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
1/2 cup sour cream Swap with plain yogurt if you prefer.
1 packet ranch seasoning Make your homemade ranch seasoning for something special.
1/2 cup green onions Scallions make a great substitute.
1/4 cup red onion Omit if you’re sensitive to raw onions.
2 tbsp parsley Consider dill for an herby twist.
1/2 tsp black pepper Freshly ground adds depth; adjust to taste.
to taste salt Always season to enhance flavors.

Method

Preparation

Boil potatoes until tender and cool.
Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and ranch seasoning in a large bowl.
Fold in potatoes, chicken, onions, parsley, and pepper gently.
Chill before serving to let flavors blend beautifully.

Notes

Skipping the chilling step leads to flavors not mingling well. Not using fresh ingredients can compromise taste. Customize with add-ins like bacon or chopped celery for crunch. Make it a day ahead for the best flavor.
