Here’s a simple, comforting recipe for Slow Cooker Onion Butter Potatoes—rich, flavorful, and almost effortless 👇
🥔 Slow Cooker Onion Butter Potatoes
🛒 Ingredients
- 1.5–2 kg baby potatoes (or chopped regular potatoes)
- 1 medium onion (thinly sliced)
- 4–5 tbsp butter
- 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp dried herbs (thyme or parsley)
- ¼ cup vegetable or chicken broth
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes
- Wash and halve if large (keep small ones whole).
- Layer in the Slow Cooker
- Add potatoes, then scatter sliced onions and garlic on top.
- Add Flavor
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, paprika, and herbs evenly.
- Add Butter & Liquid
- Cut butter into chunks and place over everything.
- Pour in broth.
- Cook
- On LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours
- Until potatoes are tender and infused with flavor
- Finish
- Gently toss before serving so potatoes soak up the buttery onion sauce.
✨ Tips for Extra Flavor
- Add grated cheese in the last 15 minutes for a creamy finish
- Sprinkle fresh parsley before serving for color
- For a slight crisp, broil the cooked potatoes for 5–10 minutes
🍽️ Why This Works
- Slow cooking lets the butter, onion, and garlic melt into the potatoes, creating a rich, savory coating without much effort.
If you want, I can give you a 1-pot version with chicken added—turns this into a full meal with the same flavors.
