Ah yes — that’s basically slow-cooked comfort in a pot. 🥔🧈🧅 Here’s a simple, foolproof recipe for slow cooker potato chunks with butter and sliced onions.
Slow Cooker Potato Chunks with Butter & Onions
Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes, cut into 1–2 inch chunks (Yukon gold or red potatoes work best)
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 3–4 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
- ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth (optional, keeps potatoes extra moist)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Optional herbs: 1 tsp dried thyme, rosemary, or parsley
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients
- Wash and cut potatoes into chunks.
- Thinly slice the onion.
- Layer in Slow Cooker
- Place potato chunks in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Spread sliced onions on top.
- Dot butter evenly over potatoes and onions.
- Pour broth over everything if using.
- Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW 5–6 hours or HIGH 2–3 hours.
- Check potatoes — they should be tender and flavorful.
- Finish & Serve
- Gently toss the potatoes and onions to coat with butter and juices.
- Optional: sprinkle fresh parsley before serving.
Tips
- Extra flavor: Add a clove or two of garlic, smashed, on top.
- Crispy edges: For roasted-style edges, transfer cooked potatoes to a baking sheet and broil 5 minutes.
- Make it cheesy: Sprinkle shredded cheddar over the potatoes in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
If you want, I can give a loaded slow-cooker version with bacon and melted cheese that’s basically a mash between potatoes and comfort food heaven.
Do you want me to do that?
