Ingredients (5 items)

• 1.5–2 kg (3–4 lbs) potatoes, peeled and sliced or cubed
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 can (300–400 g) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom if preferred)
• 1–1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese

🍲 Instructions

1. Prep the potatoes
   Peel and cut into bite-sized cubes or thin slices so they cook evenly.
2. Mix the sauce
   In a bowl, combine:
   • Ranch seasoning
   • Sour cream
   • Cream soup
     Stir until smooth and well blended.
3. Layer in slow cooker
   • Lightly grease the slow cooker
   • Add potatoes
   • Pour the creamy ranch mixture over them
   • Stir to coat evenly
4. Cook
   • LOW: 6–7 hours
   • HIGH: 3–4 hours
     Potatoes should be fork-tender.
5. Add cheese
   Sprinkle cheddar on top during the last 20–30 minutes. Cover and let it melt.

If you want to level it up:

• Crispy bacon bits
• Chopped onions or garlic

💡 Tips

• Yukon Gold potatoes work best for a creamy texture
• Don’t over-stir while cooking—it can make potatoes mushy
• Add a splash of milk if it looks too thick near the end
