Slow Cooker Potatoes

Slow Cooker Potatoes – A great potato side dish that is easy to put together. It goes perfect with chicken, beef, or pork too!

I’m slow getting this post out to you all today.  I am recovering from a camping weekend with my little family.  We rented a cabin at a local state park and had an awesome time!  My kids said over and over how much they loved it.  That makes it so worthwhile especially after my little heart-to-heart I had with you guys last week.

We did all the usual fun camping stuff:  roasted wienies, made s’mores, went hiking a few trails, rode bikes, took a boat ride, and my hubby did a little fishing.  It was a jam-packed weekend filled with fun!  Here’s some snapshots of it all.  Sorry for some of the blurry cell phone photos!

Awesome memories!

Now I also spent a lot of the time on fire-patrol…out of fear that my 1 year old or one of the other kids would fall into the campfire.  That kind of makes one a little nervous!  We also had a little incident with the RACOONS.  The first night as we were grilling our burgers, I brought the s’more stuff outside and set it on the picnic table to have it ready.  We all went in to eat our hamburgers.  When we went back outside to make our s’mores, everything was gone!  After a little investigating, we found the evidence in the woods.  Those darn racoons!  My kids (and myself) were heartbroken.  The next night I made sure to leave the stuff inside until we were ready.

So with all that camping on my brain, what better day than today to share an easy weeknight or camping-friendly recipe.  These babies cook all day long in slow cooker and come out just perfectly.  They would be great with just about any protein…steaks, roast chicken, pork chops, etc.

This recipe is my twist on my sister-in-laws potatoes.  She bakes them in the oven.  I just knew they would come out great in the crockpot too!  Seriously, this recipe is a real winner for sure!  I also include oven instructions in case you do not have a slow cooker 🙂

    So glad your camping trip went well! Way too cold in Canada to even think about that now, haha. These slow cooker potatoes on the other hand, they would warm us right up!

    I’m a little bit envious of the shorts and t-shirts! It’s already too cold for that here, although the weekend is supposed to be nice so maybe no jackets will happen! Those potatoes look amazing – I’m pretty sure I am going to have to make those for supper tonight. I’ve never made potatoes in the slow cooker before so I definitely need to try that!

    I made the Slow Cooker Potatoes last Sunday when the kids/grandkids were here – it was sooo hot that I couldn’t bring myself to turn on the oven so I made these in my medium sized crock pot. Followed directions except for omitting the green onions (nobody likes!). Have to say that this recipe met with RAVE REVIEWS! Can’t wait to make them again – may add a little cooked bacon but they’re great just the way the recipe says! Thanks for an easy dish.
