This recipe has it all, 5 minute prep, 1 pot start to finish, easy peasy good!

Simply cut your potatoes into pieces {1/4s or 1/8s depending on size}, no need to peel

Toss them in a cooking oil sprayed slow cooker and top with butter, onion soup seasoning and add water

Cover and go on your merry way~ 💃

Now you can eat them just like this, soft and buttery with brown edges and onion flavor

or you can add a little milk and sour cream and give them a quick mash with an immersion blender or hand mixer right there in the slow cooker

Mix lightly, keeping some lumps for interest and texture- overmixing can make them pasty

They turn golden in color from the brown butter, red skins and onion soup mix

I mentioned that next time I might try seasoning with herbs such as rosemary and got a resounding “No! Don’t change a thing!” from HHjr…

He’s not one to rave, so I considered that a big success 👍
