Slow Cooker Magic Potatoes
This recipe is
5 minute prep, 1 pot start to finish,
and will bring delicious slow cooker magic!
Simply cut your potatoes into pieces
{1/4s or 1/8s depending on size of potatoes}
no need to peel
Toss them in a cooking oil sprayed slow cooker
Top with butter, dry onion soup mix, and add water
Cover and go on your merry way~ 💃
A lovely aroma will fill the air as they’re cooking
When they’re done, 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-
over-mixing can make them pasty
They turn golden in color from the brown butter,
red skins and onion soup mix
Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired

Hi Jenna, The slow cooker works magic indeed! I’m not a fan of the artificial flavor of dry onion soup mix but onboard with butter, sour cream and milk. 🙂 Happy Tuesday ♥
I’m sure you could leave the onion soup mix out Mary, and potatoes could be enjoyed browned or mashed 🌼
Slow cookers are wonderful this time of year!
They are like having a private chef in your kitchen!

These look wonderful! I don’t have red potatoes, but I have Dutch baby yellow potatoes, and I’m thinking that might work as well. This past week I tried your chicken comfort casserole and absolutely loved it!
I haven’t tried it with other types of potatoes, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t~let me know if you try it! I’m so glad you enjoyed the Chicken Comfort Casserole, thanks for letting me know!
A wonderful recipe for crock pot. I love the idea and it is so easy. I enjoy potatoes of all kinds.
