Slow Cooker Bacon Cheese Potatoes

This Slow Cooker Bacon Cheese Potatoes may very well of been the best thing I have eaten all week, no kidding. Cheese, bacon, and potatoes, seasoned with Ranch Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix  what is not to love?

I came across this recipe from the Recipe Critic while searching for potato side-dishes I can make in the slow cooker, to make mealtime a little easier. My kids loved these and it was so easy to throw together. They do seem a little heavy as a side-dish, I almost think paired with a salad this could be a main-dish. I have a suspicion these would be a hit at a pot-luck, it is not something I have seen and is a little different than Salt Potatoes, not that there is anything wrong with salt potatoes 🙂

I used B-size red potatoes, they range from 1 ½” to 2 ¼” in diameter, they are sometimes called “new” potatoes or baby reds.  I quartered my potatoes, and the texture was perfect. The cheese and bacon… well, you can’t really go wrong there.

I wish I could have gotten more pictures for you, but it was dinner time and I try to limit picture taking before we eat 😉
