This bacon-ranch potato salad is delicious and the easiest summer potato side dish I know. It can be varied in so many ways, so it's never boring! Add a little taco seasoning to spice it up, or add other veggies for texture.

2 pounds red potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
1 ¼ cups cooked bacon, crumbled
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
