Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Potatoes

Creamy slow cooker potatoes with ranch seasoning are an addicting side dish you’ll want to make over and over again. This crock pot potato recipe features tender pieces of perfectly cooked red potatoes in an indulgent ranch sauce you’ll love!

We get tired of the same old side dishes over and over.

But, these creamy ranch potatoes made right in the slow cooker is one you’d have to try to get tired of!

Potatoes and ranch! How could you not love it?

What You Need

To make this dish you only need a handful of ingredients.

You’ll need red potatoes, cream of potato soup, cream of celery soup, sour cream, a packet of ranch dressing mix, half and half and salt and pepper.

Don’t stress if you don’t have the exact cream of soup cans you need to make this.

Almost any cream of soup will work in this recipe.

Cream of mushroom & cream of broccoli are two of our favorite alternates to use.

How to Make

To make this, start by spraying the bowl of the slow cooker with nonstick spray.

Then wash your potatoes well and cut them into equal sized pieces.

Once they are washed and cut, add them to the bowl of the slow cooker. 

In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed soups, sour cream, dressing packet and half and half until everything is well combined.

Taste the sauce and season it with salt and pepper.

Then pour the sauce over the potatoes and give them a stir to get them evenly coated.

Cover and cook the potatoes on low for 5-6 hours, making sure to stir every 2 hours so they potatoes cook evenly.

Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

• Don’t skip stirring because you want them to cook evenly in the sauce. Stirring also prevents burning.
• Stir briefly and efficiently so too much heat doesn’t escape as this will prolong cooking time. 
• For really easy clean up, use a slow cooker liner. They also help prevent the sauce from burning and sticking to the sides.
• Bigger potato chunks will take longer to cook while smaller will cook quicker. Try to keep the potatoes to 1″ chunks.
• Peeling or leaving peel on is totally up to your preference. I leave the peel on mine.
• The recipe is written with red potatoes but it’s also delicious with both russets and yukon gold.
• You can get creative with your cream of soups- just keep the amounts the same. If you have homemade cream of soup, you could use that. Check out my recipe for homemade condensed chicken soup here.

Storing and Reheating

These potatoes will save for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

To reheat them put the potatoes in a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave until warm.
