Got it—you mean the super-literal dump step 😄
Here’s the no-thinking-required version.
“Dump This Bottled Italian Dressing” Potatoes
You literally do this:
- Add cubed potatoes to the crockpot.
- Dump in the entire bottle (or ½–¾ cup) of Italian dressing.
- Add a little butter or oil if you want richer potatoes (optional).
- Toss once.
- Cover and cook:
- LOW: 5–6 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
That’s it. No browning. No prep. No measuring if you don’t want to.
What Works Best
- Red or baby potatoes
- Zesty or robust Italian dressing
- Don’t add extra salt until the end (dressing is salty)
Optional “Still Dumpable” Add-Ins
- Minced garlic
- Parmesan at the end
- Red pepper flakes
- A packet of Italian seasoning if your dressing is mild
If you want, I can give you the exact bottle size to potato ratio, or turn this into a cheesy dump-and-go version.
