Ohhh this is one of those classic “dump-and-go” comfort sides 😌🥔
You’re talking about Slow Cooker Onion Potatoes — creamy, savory, and ridiculously easy.
🥔 Slow Cooker Onion Ranch Potatoes

- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup melted butter
- Optional: 1 cup shredded cheddar

Cut into bite-sized chunks for even cooking. - Layer & Mix
Add potatoes to slow cooker.
Sprinkle onion soup mix over the top.

Why Everyone Goes Back for Seconds
- The onion mix seasons everything perfectly
- Butter + sour cream = creamy, rich coating
- Slow cooking makes the potatoes ultra tender
You can also add:
- Fresh parsley for color
- Crispy bacon bits
- A splash of heavy cream for extra richness
Are you keeping them chunky, or mashing them slightly at the end for a creamier texture?
