These recipes for GARLIC RANCH SLOW COOKER POTATOES and SPICY TACO SLOW COOKER POTATOES were originally posted in October 2015. They continue to be a favorite so I thought it deserved a reboot! Enjoy!

Well I’m not going to lie to you…today has been a day of non-stop reality tv. Working from home has its perks, and one of them is having a full DVR crammed with every reality show known to man…#guiltypleasure. Pat will tell you, there’s pretty much zero reality shows I won’t at least give a shot. Addiction is tough. So today was a day of sitting on the couch, editing photos, and watching my gals (aka, the Real Housewives). Do you think Real Housewives of STL would come looking for me soon?? Life goals.

Ingredients

    For the GARLIC RANCH SLOW COOKER POTATOES
  • 3 pounds red potatoes, washed and quartered
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
    • For the Spicy Taco Slow Cooker Potatoes
  • 3 pounds red potatoes, quartered
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Spray a large slow cooker with non-stick spray.
  2. Place all the ingredients in a large slow cooker. Stir to combine slightly. While the potatoes are cold they won't coat completely and that's totally fine.
  3. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or until the potatoes are fork tender. (NOTE: Check the potatoes after 1 hour and stir to make sure all the potatoes are coated fully. Check again after 2.5 hours and make sure they aren't done. Depending on the size of the potatoes, they could cook a bit quicker)
  4. Serve hot, enjoy!

  3. Both of these look awesome. I totally love that they are done in the slow cooker. You are not alone in the reality show department. I'm completely hooked on RH of OC. I watch it while I'm on the treadmill..my guilty pleasure! It helps me not think about running :)

  9. This recipe looks really good. Wondering how big your slow cooker is though? I only have a little 4 quart and I don't know how much I should be scaling this down.

  10. I was looking for an easy side dish for our Super Bowl get together. Love this and am going to try it. I wanted to tell you that what caught my eye was your silverware. I think it is the same pattern as my mother's. I didn't have any of it and have spent hours at flea markets and antique fairs looking for it. I finally found it and I think I now have 2 sets!!

  15. The recipe does not call for any water. Is this correct? Don't want to burn them if it is needed and none was in there.Thanks

  16. I've made these before and they are great. I'm making them again today for my family's Christmas. I literally just finished putting them in the crockpot. I don't understand how 5 minutes of prep time is supposed to be enough time to chop potatoes and mince garlic.

    • Hey Travis, I used pre-minced garlic that comes in a jar and small potatoes, but you're right it can vary for each person. Hope your family loves the recipe! Have a very Merry Christmas!

  17. Made the garlic ranch potatoes and my family just LOVED them! Saved the leftovers and fried them up the next day to have as another side dish and they were just as good! Now I have to make sure I have plenty made when I do them! Thank you for a WONDERFUL AND EASY recipe!

  18. So these potatoes are in my crockpot right now. Followed the recipe exactly. Checked after 1 hour and there is A LOT of liquid in the bottom of the crockpot. Is that normal?
    Reply

    • There shouldn't be a lot of liquid, just a bit of water to come out of the potatoes and the oil. I'm not sure where the liquid would be coming from if there is a lot? I'm sorry I'm not more help!
