Ingredients

• 2 pounds Baby potatoes
• 6 Bacon slices
• 1 packet Dry ranch seasoning mix
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size, ensuring even pieces for uniform cooking.

Step 2

Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet, allow to cool slightly, and crumble into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 4

In the slow cooker, layer half of the potatoes. Sprinkle with half the ranch seasoning, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, half the crumbled bacon, and 1 tablespoon of butter (cut into small pieces).

Step 5

Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, ranch seasoning, 1 cup of shredded cheese, the remaining crumbled bacon, and another tablespoon of butter.

Step 6

Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and scatter them over the top layer in the slow cooker.

Step 7

Season the layered mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 8

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high heat for 3-4 hours, or on low heat for 6-8 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Once cooked, stir everything gently to combine and coat the potatoes in the cheesy mixture.

Step 10

Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh, flavorful garnish before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately while warm and gooey, and enjoy!
