Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Scrub potatoes well. Cut into 1½-inch chunks (if using Yukon Golds) or leave baby potatoes whole. No need to peel—the skins add texture and nutrients.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
- Ranch seasoning mix
- Softened cream cheese
- Melted butter
- Chicken broth
- Chives
Whisk until smooth. The mixture will be thick but pourable.
Step 3: Layer in Slow Cooker
Place potatoes in your 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the potatoes. Stir gently to coat.
Step 4: Cook
Cover and cook on:
- LOW for 6-8 hours
- HIGH for 3-4 hours
Potatoes are done when fork-tender.
