Time 8h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs small red potatoes, quartered
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry ranch dressing mix

Steps:

  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until potatoes are tender.
  • Cook on medium or high to finish sooner.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Potatoes: Choose small, waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or Creamer potatoes. They hold their shape well during cooking and have a creamy texture.
  • Boil the Potatoes First: Boiling the potatoes before roasting helps them cook more evenly and prevents them from drying out.
  • Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet retains heat well, resulting in evenly browned and crispy potatoes.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Skillet: Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure the potatoes have enough space to brown properly.
  • Season Generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to season the potatoes generously. You can also add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
  • Roast Until Crispy: Roast the potatoes until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, about 20-25 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the roasted potatoes immediately with a dollop of sour cream, melted butter, or your favorite dipping sauce.
