If you’re missing an ingredient, don’t fret. You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream if you want a lighter option, and any shredded cheese can replace Parmesan depending on your preference. The magic of home cooking is making it work with what you have!
Instructions
- Start by washing and halving the baby potatoes. There’s no need to peel them—the skins add texture and flavor.
- In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes, ranch seasoning mix, sour cream, melted butter, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, and stir until the potatoes are well coated.
- Transfer the potato mixture to your crockpot, spreading it evenly.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until the potatoes are tender. Give it a stir halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once cooked, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top and let it melt for a minute or two.
- Before serving, top with fresh chives, if desired, for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Cooking with a crockpot is truly a game-changer. You can set it in the morning and come home to a delicious aroma that welcomes you like an old friend.
