I've made many different potato salads through the years and this one has to be my all-time favorite. Roasting the potatoes (I always use red) with the red onions and the garlic creates an unbeatable combination that takes the edge off the chopped raw onions of traditional potato salad. The cool ranch coating and the corn and celery add flavor and texture. I can't believe it doesn't have more stars, especially considering the raves it elicits and all of the requests for the recipe.

Hhhmmm, we all thought this was bland. I didn't add salt due to the previous comment (and it wasn't a complete package of ranch but very close) so I'm sure it could be better but honestly, I won't do this one again. I like the idea of roasting the veggies though.

Very good, a nice change from traditional potato salad. A little salty from the ranch mix but not too bad. This is definitely a keeper...
