Those potatoes sound like they’d be delicious :-)

If you wanted to do them quicker you could just fill a microwaveable glass mixing bowl full of water, the garlic, and half a dozen or so whole potatoes (just make sure that all potatoes are underwater or have a paper towel over the top of the potatoes to prevent the skin from getting burnt or hard)

You will set the timer for 30 minutes and high setting. Test the potatoes with a fork to see if they are done. Than continue on with the recipe as described. :-)

Thanks for the recipe :-)

That sounds so good! I’m looking for low sodium low cholesterol recipes! I’m on a cardiac diet! It’s so hard to find good recipes and reading labels I really dont have long to shop and read ingredients! Thanks!

I have a ton of russet potatoes to use up. Do you think this would be ok with them and not the red ones?

Totally :) It should still turn out yummy.

I’m curious as to why you’re cooking the potatoes in the crock pot. Does it cook the potatoes any differently than if one were to just cook them on the stove? Would there be a marked difference if I were to just make them on the stove?

They taste very much the same…. I use a crock pot so I do not have to worry about them. Set it and forget it ;)

Maybe this is silly, but what size of crock pot do you need to make this?

Catherine April 6, 2012 at 3:53 am

Do you use bottled Ranch dressing or the dry package ranch dressing mix?

I am thinking about making these for our dinner tonight….quick question though. When it says “Stir in cheeses, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, chives; ranch dressing”…..is that right before serving?

Yes it is :) Enjoy!

Having a friends night tonight and I hate when I am stuck in the kitchen while everyone chats. This solved my problem and they look delicious! Serving with a marinated pork tenderloin (soy, honey, oil, garlic, pepper) and steamed broccoli. Should be a crowd pleaser!

Do you drain the water off before mixing in the dressing/cheese, etc at the end?

Sue November 26, 2012 at 11:33 pm

Do you drain the water off after cooking and before adding the cheese mixture??

I wonder if you could use hashbrowns for this recipe. Sounds great!
