Ingredients
Potatoes:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes (or russet potatoes cut into chunks)
Sauce:
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix (or homemade ranch seasoning)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits (or 6–8 strips of bacon, crumbled)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: If using baby potatoes, cut them into halves or quarters. If using larger russet potatoes, cut them into bite-sized chunks. Place the potatoes in the slow cooker.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sour cream, melted butter, and cooked bacon bits. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture over the potatoes in the slow cooker, stirring to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, stir the potatoes to mix everything together. Top with extra shredded cheese and green onions, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
