That’s a cozy classic right there 🧈🥔—simple, rich, and basically impossible to mess up. Here’s the no-fuss slow cooker version that comes out tender and buttery every time.
🥔 Slow Cooker Buttered Potatoes & Onions
Ingredients
- 2–3 lbs potatoes, peeled or unpeeled, cut into chunks
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4–6 tbsp butter, sliced into pats
- ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth (or water)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Optional flavor add-ins
- Garlic (minced or powder)
- Paprika or Cajun seasoning
- Fresh thyme or rosemary
- Splash of Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Add potato chunks and sliced onions to the slow cooker.
- Season with salt and pepper (go light—you can adjust later).
- Pour in broth.
- Dot butter evenly over the top.
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Gently stir before serving and adjust seasoning.
🔥 Tips for Next-Level Flavor
- Stir once halfway if you can, but not required.
- For crispy edges, transfer to a baking dish and broil 5–7 minutes.
- Add smoked sausage or kielbasa for a full meal.
- Finish with chopped parsley or green onions for freshness.
Perfect with chicken, pork chops, or straight out of the crock like a potato bandit 😅
