Slow Cooker Garlic Ranch Potatoes

I’m pretty much a meat-and-potatoes guy so these slow cooker garlic Ranch potatoes didn’t last long after I made a batch. I’m a huge fan of baby potatoes because they’re minimal fuss. I don’t cut them in half, though I could. I like them whole. No matter how you cut them, these slow cooker garlic Ranch potatoes are packed with flavor and then some.

Slow Cooker Garlic Ranch Potatoes

The potatoes soak up great Ranch and garlic flavors and get perfectly tender. It’s so much better than boiling potatoes, which can get beat up pretty bad if you don’t watch what you’re doing. Not so in the slow cooker. Just add and cook.

As I mentioned, I do not cut my potatoes in half. Doing so does increase the surface area, and normally that would mean more flavor but these potatoes cook low-and-slow allowing the flavors to be slowly absorbed all the way through. No cutting in half required*

* Unless the potatoes are really big! Then I cut then in half so that they cook in a reasonable time!

Also try my slow cooker Tennessee-style potatoes.

This recipe is based on a recipe from The Salty Marshmallow.
