ingredients
2 pounds small new potatoes, unpeeled, quartered if desired
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 envelope (1.3 ounce size) dry ranch salad dressing mix
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
directions
Combine the potatoes, oil, and dry salad dressing mix and toss to coat the potatoes well in the mixture.
Place the water in the bottom of the crock pot (use a 4 to 5 quart size) and add the potatoes. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the potatoes are tender (gently prick one with a fork to test).
When cooked, sprinkle the potatoes with the chopped parsley. Serve hot.
crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.recipe tips
If you prefer a crispier texture, try roasting or broiling the potatoes in the oven after slow cooking.
For a healthier version, use olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the potato mixture for a different flavor.
Be careful not to overcook the potatoes in the crock pot as they can become mushy.
For a more intense parsley flavor, mix some parsley into the potatoes before cooking, in addition to garnishing after.
If you're watching your sodium intake, look for a low-sodium ranch dressing mix or make your own seasoning.
Stir the potatoes gently halfway through cooking.
Serve these potatoes with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
These potatoes pair well with a variety of main dishes, from grilled meats to vegetarian options.
common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of potato for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other types of potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but cooking times may vary slightly.
Is there a substitute for the dry ranch salad dressing mix?
You can make a homemade mix using dried herbs like dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Can I cook these potatoes in an oven instead of a crock pot?

How can I tell when the potatoes are fully cooked?
The potatoes are done when they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
