Provided by Alyssa Rivers

Categories     Side Dish

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 Medium sized potatoes or 6-8 small red or yellow potatoes
1 large onion (thinly sliced)
1/2 pound bacon (1 pound makes it that much better)
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 package dry ranch seasoning packet
2 Tablespoon butter (melted)
1/2 cup sliced green onions

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon until it is just done but not too crisp. I lined a cookie sheet with foil and baked it at 350 degrees for 16 minutes while I was prepping everything.
  • Line your slow cooker with aluminum foil. Leave enough to over hang so that you can wrap the potatoes on the top once in the slow cooker.
  • Spray the inside of the foil with cooking spray and layer half of the potatoes along the bottom. Next layer with half of the bacon, green onions, onion, ranch packet and top with cheese. Repeat the layers and top with cheese reserving 1/2 cup. Pour melted butter over top.
  • Cover the potatoes with remaining foil. This helps them to steam and cook perfectly. Cook on low for 4-6 hours in your slow cooker. Once finished, top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and let melt on the top.
  • Garnish with fresh green onions if desired.

Tips for the Best Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Ranch Potatoes:

  • Select the right potatoes: For this recipe, it is recommended to use small, firm potatoes such as baby potatoes or red potatoes. These hold their shape well and won't easily fall apart during the cooking process.
  • Wash and cut the potatoes evenly: To ensure even cooking, it's important to wash and cut the potatoes into uniform sizes. This will help them cook at the same rate.
  • Season the potatoes: Before adding the potatoes to the slow cooker, season them with a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This simple seasoning will enhance the flavor of the potatoes and make them more flavorful.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The quality of the bacon you use will greatly impact the overall flavor of the dish. Choose a thick-cut, good-quality bacon for the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: To ensure that the potatoes cook evenly and don't become soggy, avoid overcrowding the slow cooker. Make sure there is enough space for the potatoes to cook without being crammed together.
  • Cook on low and slow: The key to tender and flavorful potatoes is to cook them on low heat for an extended period. This allows the potatoes to cook slowly and absorb all the flavors from the bacon, cheese, and ranch dressing.
  • Stir periodically: To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker, stir them occasionally during the cooking process. This will also help to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the dish.
  • Top with cheese and bacon before serving: For a cheesy, bacon-y topping, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the potatoes just before serving. This will add an extra layer of flavor and make the dish even more irresistible.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker cheesy bacon ranch potatoes recipe is a delightful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. The combination of tender potatoes, crispy bacon, creamy cheese, and tangy ranch dressing makes this dish a true crowd-pleaser.
