Notes

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, slow cooking tips, and other delicious recipe ideas, check out my post above.
TIPS: Cook on LOW for the best texture and evenly tender potatoes. Cut potatoes into similar-sized pieces so they cook at the same rate. Add the sour cream, butter, and cheese at the end of cooking to keep the sauce smooth and creamy.
VARIATIONS: For extra flavor, stir in cooked, crumbled bacon or top with chopped green onions just before serving. You can also swap the cheddar cheese for Colby Jack or a shredded cheese blend.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve these cheesy ranch potatoes alongside grilled chicken, pork chops, meatloaf, or burgers. They’re also great for potlucks and family-style dinners since they stay warm and creamy in the crockpot.
