Microwave Potato Salad

by Jodie Rindlisbacher

• 12 red potatoes--small similar in size--washed and forked several times all around the potato
• 1-16 oz. bottle of Bacon flavored Ranch dressing--3/4 bottle 
• 1 bundle of green onions
• Paprika
• Optional Additions--Boiled Eggs—Celery--pickles

Microwave safe plate with Large Round mold and Octagonal Silpat on top as lid for microwave steamer combo. 
Stand forked red potatoes all around inside the mold standing upright so you can wedge 10-12 all around inside mold. 
Place Octagonal Silpat on top making sure it sits flat all around to keep steam in…and microwave at full strength for 8-10 minutes. No boiling water required!! 
**Carefully lift Silpat lid off with steam away from your body. 

While hot cut into 1 inch cubes and place in a pretty bowl...glass bowl is pretty as you can see the colors of the red skins and greens. 

Pour dressing on top and mix thoroughly being careful not to take all the skins off the potatoes. 
Stir in green onions that have been sliced. 
Dust with paprika when serving...

Save the rest of the dressing to add more moisture to the salad for the next day. 
Delicious and Easy!! 

Hickory Bacon and Green Onion Salad Dressing is good too.
