Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 3 pounds small red or yellow potatoes, washed and cut into bite-size pieces Leave skins on for flavor and nutrients.
  • 1.5 cups bottled ranch dressing Use full-flavor ranch for pronounced herbiness.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces Salted butter can be used; substitute with dairy-free butter for a vegan option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with a little butter.
  2. Wash the potatoes and cut them into bite-size chunks, leaving the skins on.
  3. Place the potatoes into the slow cooker and pour the ranch dressing evenly over the top.
  4. Scatter the small butter pieces over the potatoes and stir gently to coat.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or on HIGH for 2–3 hours, until a fork pierces them easily.
  2. Once cooked, stir gently to redistribute the dressing and melted butter. Taste and add salt or pepper if necessary.
  3. Serve warm straight from the slow cooker or transfer to a serving bowl.
