Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby potatoes
- 6 Bacon slices
- 1 packet Dry ranch seasoning mix
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size, ensuring even pieces for uniform cooking.
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet, allow to cool slightly, and crumble into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In the slow cooker, layer half of the potatoes. Sprinkle with half the ranch seasoning, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, half the crumbled bacon, and 1 tablespoon of butter (cut into small pieces).
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, ranch seasoning, 1 cup of shredded cheese, the remaining crumbled bacon, and another tablespoon of butter.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and scatter them over the top layer in the slow cooker.
Season the layered mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high heat for 3-4 hours, or on low heat for 6-8 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted.
Once cooked, stir everything gently to combine and coat the potatoes in the cheesy mixture.
Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh, flavorful garnish before serving.
Serve immediately while warm and gooey, and enjoy!
