Slow Cooker Ranch Pork Chops and Potatoes

# Preparation :

1. **Prepare the ingredients:**

– Wash and peel the potatoes if desired. Cut them into chunks or thick slices.

– If using bone-in pork chops, you can leave them whole, or cut them into smaller pieces for faster, more even cooking.

– Slice the onion (if using) to add to the mixture.

2. **Assemble in the slow cooker:**

– In the bottom of the slow cooker, place the potatoes cut into pieces.

– Add the pork chops on top of the potatoes.

– If using onion slices, arrange them around the pork.

– In a bowl, mix the ranch soup powder with the cream of mushroom soup, broth (or water) and paprika. Pour this mixture over the chops and potatoes in the slow cooker.

– Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a tablespoon of butter on top for extra richness (optional).
