Ingredients
• Baby Red Potatoes: 2 to 3 lbs (washed and left whole).
• Cream Cheese: 8 oz (one block, often dolloped as seen in your photo).
• Dry Ranch Seasoning: 1 packet (or an Italian seasoning mix).
• Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), sliced or melted.
Instructions
1. Prep: Place the raw baby red potatoes into the slow cooker.
2. Layer: Add the dollops of cream cheese on top (as shown in your image), sprinkle the seasoning packet over everything, and add the butter.
3. Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 6-7 hours or High for 3-4 hours until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4. Finish: Once cooked, stir everything together. The cream cheese and butter will melt into a rich, velvety sauce that coats the potatoes.
5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
