Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing and halving the baby Dutch yellow potatoes, ensuring they’re clean for the best flavor. Aim for uniform sizes so they cook evenly in the slow cooker.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, dry ranch seasoning, minced garlic, and dried parsley. Toss gently until the potatoes are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Grease the slow cooker insert with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Carefully add the seasoned potatoes to the insert, making sure to spread them out for even cooking.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours. Keep an eye on the time and, when they reach a tender state that allows you to easily pierce them with a fork, they are ready for the next step!
  5. During the last 40-50 minutes of cooking, crack the lid slightly to let steam escape, leading to beautifully crisp exteriors.
  6. When the cooking time is complete, remove the lid, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the potatoes, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.
  7. Gently stir the finished Easy Crockpot Ranch Potatoes to distribute the cheese and herbs. Serve them warm alongside your favorite dishes.
