Just throw everything in and let them cook. The ranch dressing, bacon, and cheese combine to make these packed with flavor. I love to make these if my planned main course feels a little boring.
You can serve these for a regular family dinner or bring them to a holiday party.

Ingredients and Tools You’ll Need
I find baby red potatoes work best here. Instead of bacon and shredded cheddar cheese you could also use diced ham and shredded white cheese.

Make the seasoning by combining the oil, ranch dressing mix, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step Two: Cook in Slow Cooker
Spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray and fill it halfway with potatoes. Stir in the seasoning oil until well combined. Set to low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours, stirring every now and then. The potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork and have slightly browned edges.
Step Three: Add the Bacon and Cheese
Sprinkle the cheese on top of the potatoes. Then add the bacon and green onions. Let it all melt for 1-2 minutes before serving. DO NOT STIR.
Storage Instructions
Once they’ve cooled, place the potatoes in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to four days.
When you’re ready to reheat, simply place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave.
Serving Ideas
Serve them with some of these dishes.
- Steaks rubbed with prairie dust seasoning and grilled outside.
- Homemade honey wheat rolls are soft and a little sweet.
- Cast iron skillet green beans are always popular, even for a veggie.
- And finish off with a slice of brown sugar apple pie.
