RANCH HOUSE CROCK POT PORK CHOPS W/ PARMESAN MASHED POTATOES



Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops W/ Parmesan Mashed Potatoes image

This is a hugely popular slow cooker recipe originating on Picky Palate's blog. By many who have made this, it's been suggested to add 2 cans of soup for additional gravy, but do NOT increase the Ranch Dressing Seasoning for it will become too intensely flavored. Many recipes are out there for roasting garlic. I simply put the cloves in a square of foil, drizzle with olive oil, seal and bake in a toaster oven for about 20 minutes or until soft and golden.

  • For the best results, use fresh potatoes. Russet potatoes are a good choice because they are starchy and will mash up smoothly.
  • Peel and cube the potatoes before boiling them. This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Add salt to the water when you boil the potatoes. This will help to season them and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and mash them until smooth. You can use a potato masher, a hand mixer, or a food processor.
  • Add the ranch dressing, milk, butter, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for later use.
