Slow Cooker Country Chive and Ranch Smashed Potatoes

Taste for yourself the kind of wonders chives and Ranch dressing work on slow cooked and mashed red potatoes. They’re unbelievably creamy to boot.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To make 'em cheesy, fold in 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese after stirring in the half-and-half.

Try chopped fresh parsley instead of the chives.

These go nicely with sliced ham and steamed green beans.

Can't find potato topper? Use 8 oz sour cream and 1 teaspoon dried chives. Or you like, skip the chives and just add an additional tablespoon chopped green onion for Savory Ranch Smashed Potatoes.

I doubled the recipe and substituted 1/2 cup crème fraiche for 4 oz. of the sour cream. Only needed about 5 hours in the crock pot. Didn't need to mash, chunky mashed potatoes are good too! Very tasty and will make again!
