Hey friends! Y’all know how much I love my crock-pot, especially during these hot summer months! I actually bought this smaller 1.5 quart crock pot awhile ago so I can have one crock pot handling the main dish, and one handling the side! These potatoes are great because I pretty much always have everything I need to whip them together, and they pair great with anything from chicken, to salmon to burgers! You will be glad you have this recipe in your arsenal!
Easy Crock-Pot Ranch Potatoes
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon
- 3 pounds small potatoes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Ranch Seasoning Mix
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2-3 green onions

Nutrition
If you really want to take this dish to the next level, after potatoes are cooked you can sprinkle some cheese over the top to melt! My oldest hates cheese and they are great without it, but if you are a cheese lover then its an easy addition! 
Mmm! I wish I had some right now!
xo,
If you need another freakin’ delicious potato side dish in your life, these easy cheesy funeral potatoes will NOT let you down!

I know with a lot of Crock Pot recipes you can do 7-8 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high, do you think the method on high would work for this or do the potatoes need to go “low and slow”? I’m looking to make this for a brunch I’m having and would love to not have to wake up at 4am to put it in the crock pot. :)
Thanks so much for a great recipe!
Yes, that should work totally fine!! Good luck Emily!
Is the foil used just for easy clean up? Or is it necessary for the potatoes to cook properly? :) Looks delicious!
Just so that the potatoes don’t get stuck to the sides and then burn or get too crispy! If you don’t use it just spray the sides well and maybe rotate them a few times while cooking!
