I have not tried this recipe, but it looks and sounds delicious, and I will make it very soon.
I am can’t wait to try this. And I just bought the crockpot you featured it with. I have really been needing another crockpot.
For you
Is this like a thick potato soup or mashed potatoes? If you hate cream cheese is there anything you could substitute (maybe heavy cream)?
Looks yummy for an Autumn day!
Hi Dianna!
It isn’t like a soup or mashed potatoes, it is a creamy, cheesy potato recipe where the potatoes are not mashed. As for the cream cheese, the potatoes don’t taste like cream cheese. Since I haven’t tried it with an alternative, I can’t recommend one. If you try something else and it works let us know! Enjoy!

Hi! I have just added the ham & cheese to this and it seems really dry. I followed the recipe exactly. The recipe called for just the can of soup-I didn’t prepare it as the soup can directions. Is that where I goofed?
I’m wondering if I should add some milk so I have more sauce. I tasted the potatoes before adding the ham & they were YUMMY!
Hope you see this soon as it will be ready shortly….
THANKS in advance!

Hi Pat!
You did the soup right, it is just the condensed version. Did you use cream cheese too? If so, I am not sure why they would be dry. I haven’t tried it with adding milk, but it might work. I would recommend adding a very little amount at a time so that you don’t make it too soupy. Enjoy!

Made this for the first time today, followed instructions but, when I got home and checked(it had been approximately 5 1/2 hours) found it burned. Now the house smells great but I’ve no dinner. Greatly disappointed, my crock pot is a 5 quart size and “not malfunctioning” so all should have been fine. Maybe will try your recipe again when I’m not so frustrated/angry.
Hi Kristin-
I hate that the recipe cooked faster in your slow cooker than it did ours. I know that can be very frustrating. That is why we say in the post “All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.” We test every recipe on our site in our slow cookers but unfortunately we cannot predict exactly how your unit’s make/model/year will perform.
I love this recipe it turned out absoulelty delicious! Mine also cooked much faster however I was home and able to turn it to warm until dinner.
Hi Sara!
Awesome! I am so glad you were home to be able to watch it. Make sure you write down the timing for you specific slow cooker on your recipe. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it! It always brightens my day to hear that one of our readers loves a recipe I shared!

I made the ham and ranch potatos. I used “Condensed Cream of mushroom soup with roasted garlic.” I also added minced red onion and minced garlic. Then I topped it with real bacon bits. I needed to add milk at the end as well because mine was really thick. It was amazing and extra creamy adding the milk. Everything else was the same. Thanks!
