Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby red potatoes
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 can nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the baby red potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato pieces, olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the potatoes.
Layer half of the seasoned potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and half of the cooked bacon pieces evenly over the potatoes.
Add the remaining potatoes on top, followed by the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-7 hours, until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked.
Once done, chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the cheesy potatoes for a fresh burst of flavor.
Carefully stir the ingredients together to ensure the cheese and bacon are evenly distributed throughout.
Serve the cheesy bacon ranch potatoes warm as a delicious side dish for any meal.
