Ingredients

• 3 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed
• 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons ranch dressing mix

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrients, or peel if desired.

Step 2: Create the Accordion Cuts

Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks. Slice thin cuts across the potato without cutting all the way through, creating a Hasselback or accordion effect.

Step 3: Arrange in the Slow Cooker

Lightly grease a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer with the cuts facing upward.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Ranch Sauce

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, melted butter, and ranch seasoning until smooth.

Step 5: Coat the Potatoes

Pour the mixture evenly over the potatoes, making sure the sauce gets into the accordion cuts.

Step 6: Slow Cook

Cover and cook:

• LOW: 5–6 hours
• HIGH: 3–3½ hours

Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender and infused with flavor.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Spoon the creamy ranch sauce over the potatoes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired.
