Slow Cooker Ranch Potatoes
I have been all about the slow cooker lately. I’ve made several slow cooker freezer meals, apple butter, sausage and peppers, applesauce, chili, and now these ranch potatoes.
I really need to try these amazing Slow Cooker Sweet BBQ Cocktail Sausages too!
These slow cooker ranch potatoes are, hands down, the easiest side dish I’ve ever made. The fact that they use Simply Potatoes is one of the reasons why the dish comes together so quickly (just 5 minutes prep, holla!).
There’s no cutting, peeling, or scrubbing involved! All you need to do is toss the potatoes with some seasoning, a little melted butter (I used dairy free), toss them in the slow cooker, and walk away for 4 hours.
Side dish = done.
You can serve these potatoes with pretty much anything. Burgers, roasts, grilled chicken, the possibilities are endless. Love when that happens!
They’re a great dish to make for company too, just double or even triple the recipe to make however many servings you need. Bring ’em to your next tailgate, they’ll be a hit.
I you haven’t seen Simply Potatoes at your store, check out the refrigerated dairy section – that’s where they’re hiding since they’re made with fresh potatoes, not frozen. I found mine near the eggs and biscuits at my local grocery store.
You can’t go wrong with easy potato dishes. Air Fryer Potato Wedges are always a hit as are Baked Sweet Potato Fries. And we love making homemade tater tots with leftover mashed potatoes.
Easy side dish recipes, like these Slow Cooker Ranch Potatoes, are such an easy way to elevate your dinner game. Potatoes are always welcome on the table!
Enjoy!

It's such a handy kitchen appliance! I go through spurts of never using it and then using it non-stop. Right now, it's non-stop!
