Slow Cooker Amish Papa's Pride Potatoes

Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes, cleaned well

  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup

  • ½ cup melted unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. You may leave the skins on for a rustic texture or peel them if preferred.

2. Create the Accordion Cuts

Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks. Slice thin cuts across the potato, stopping before cutting completely through. This keeps the potato intact while allowing it to fan open during cooking.

3. Arrange in the Slow Cooker

Lightly grease the inside of a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Arrange the potatoes in a snug single layer with the cut sides facing upward whenever possible.

4. Make the Sauce

In a medium bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, melted butter, and ranch seasoning until smooth and fully combined.

5. Coat the Potatoes

Spoon the mixture evenly over the potatoes, making sure some of the sauce gets between the slices. The potatoes will release moisture while cooking, so no additional liquid is needed.

6. Slow Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–3½ hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender and infused with flavor.

7. Serve

Carefully spoon the potatoes onto serving plates and drizzle the creamy sauce from the slow cooker over the top. Serve immediately while hot.
