Slow Cooker Chunky Ranch Potatoes

This recipe for Slow Cooker Chunky Ranch Potatoes makes one tasty side dish that the whole family will enjoy.

Being a mom has changed me a little. {A little. Baha!} Okay, so maybe a lot, but in one specific area that I want to tell you about today. Before, I had no problem eating a bag of popcorn for dinner. It stems back to my freshman year in high school when that was all I did eat almost ever. Don’t ask me why, teenagers are weird.

Anyway, now, I have come to realize that babies probably can’t survive off of popcorn. At least I’m not willing to test it. So, it’s up to me to make Adelaide something substantial for dinner. I’ve been trying really hard lately to have more balanced meals. I can’t describe the sense of satisfaction when Addi eats a vegetable and asks for more. {Hello, sweet peas!} Although, I know potatoes aren’t the best vegetable out there, they’re probably better for you than crackers, or as mentioned above – popcorn. So I’m counting it as a win. 😉

Slow Cooker Chunky Ranch Potatoes are going in the books as a new favorite potato recipe! Of course, what more is there to love than anything that’s paired with Ranch? {If you haven’t tried Ranch Popcorn, please go here. ;)} Hope you enjoy this yummy side!
