If you’re looking for the perfect side dish, these slow cooker ranch potatoes need to be on your list! Not only are they incredibly tasty and sure to be a crowd favorite, but they’re also easy to whip up with minimal prep and simple pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand.

After a short work of cutting the potatoes in halves and tossing them in seasonings, they conveniently cook in the crockpot with almost zero tending.  Plus, there’s no “roasting” involved thus freeing up the oven for other things on the menu.

Cooking instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes. Cut in uniform serving size to ensure even cooking.
  2. Season. In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, Ranch dry seasoning, dried parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Cook. Transfer to a lightly greased crockpot and cook on LOW for about 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for about 2 to 3 hours until tender.
  4. Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and additional dried parsley.

Helpful tips

Cooking tips

  • I like to use baby Dutch yellow potatoes as they tend to hold their shape better and have thin skins that don’t require peeling.
  • Cut the potatoes into a uniform size to ensure even cooking.
  • For an extra boost of flavor, swap part or all of the olive oil with butter.
  • To help the potatoes crisp up, leave the lid partly open during the last hour.
  • Want to load them up with cheesy goodness? Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese when the potatoes are tender and continue to cook covered until cheese is melted.

How to serve and store

  • Serve these crockpot potatoes as a side dish for lunch or dinner. They’re delicious paired with your favorite roasts and grilled veggies.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • You can turn leftover potatoes into cold salads or use in soups such as this delicious Zuppa Toscana and baked potato soup.

    These sound great. I have a 7 qt. crock pot. Will have 11 people for Easter dinner. Do you think I could triple this recipe with the same time for cooking?

        I use vegetable bouillon and enough water to partially cover small uncut potato’s.
        I also use good seasoning Italian dressing ..dry…near end of cooking I add onion and Bubba’s sauerkraut.

    How long would you recommend cooking in the oven ? Recipe looks delicious! Can’t wait to try

      I would say about 45 minutes to an hour. Make sure to turn halfway through cook time so they’ll roast and crisp on both sides.

    These Ranch Potatoes were absolutely delicious and fairly easy to make. Cutting up the potatoes took the longest amount of time. I don’t like garlic, so I used onions and I only used butter instead of olive oil. My crockpot is large and the 3 lbs. of potatoes made a large amount. I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone.

    Very good – I used red potatoes and Hidden Ranch “fiesta” seasoning. The seasoning was a mistake, but it turned out good.

    I used this recipe and baked them on a baking sheet. Then transferred to a casserole dish for serving. They were delicious. I took them to the church picnic, none left. Success!

    This recipe doesn’t work b/c it doesn’t include the water that is necessary for it to actual cook the potatoes. We even cooked these double what the instructions called for and potatoes never cooked. What a dissapointment

      Have you tried the recipe? I don’t think you have because you would know the recipe does work. It doesn’t need water. The slow cooker cook at very low heat. You’d actually see moisture in the crockpot insert once the potatoes are cooked and tender.
